GDT: Trade Deadline week around the league

[chaz4hockey]

Canes struggled early, but since thanksgiving they have the 4th best PK in the league and the best net PK in the league.

Yup it’s been said but is still not the best, ie LY. For that matter, PP has been better for quite some time too versus early blahs.

Come April, competition ratchets up and so do the importance of their PK & PP….as I noted, I hope Pool party can enhance and be that big quick (Staal like but faster) target out front of kill.

My point is that I don't think Tro was as big of a reason for the PK's success as you were attributing him to be. I remember years ago someone worried that letting Dwyer go would affect our PK. There was an adjustment time, but the team wasn't any worse for wear.

Last year: 88%; Net PK%: 89.5%
This year since thanskgiving 84.9%, Net PK% 92.4% (best in the NHL)

There's likely not a whole lot statistically different in those numbers. No doubt the team needed to adjust the first couple of months to the new personnel.

Argumentative and splitting hairs early in the morning. Geez please stop.

This is what I said: “Tro was also a core Pk guy that contributed”

Last night, I dreamed that Necas was traded at the next deadline because they couldn’t get a new contract worked out. He went to the Kings. I think he and his GF, who is a singer, might like that.

If you keep having dreams like that, I recommend you refrain from ever sleeping again!

What’s so funny is that with my crazy woek and sleep schedule, I so rarely remember dreams anymore. Perhaps it was the late game or that I have been away from work.

In any case, I hope the new contract talks do not have the same effect on him as last time.

Hopefully the team won't let it get to that point. Would be nice if they could get something done in the off-season so it doesn't become a distraction during the season. Not confident in that though.

So you split hairs by saying "still not the best", then say "Geez please stop", but you couldn't help but continuing on with an argumentative statement yourself right after that comment. OK...

With fewer contracts to negotiate this offseason (Staal, maybe Andersen?) there is time to focus on priority contracts coming up next year.

I think Aho and Necas will be top priorities this offseason. And if Aho wants to wait next year out, it only further emphasizes locking Necas up long-term this offseason.

Yup trying to illuminate your mistake by not focusing on my original words. Early AM with you just trying to pick a fight. You do that with others and it’s just tiresome to watch.

I’m a Marine and took you up on it but now it’s just run it’s course. I’ll never be bullied which I see is your MO.

Bye and thank goodness for the block.

 

[Nikishin Go Boom]

He caught you on poor wording and he’s the bully? Oooooofffff

Why does it matter you’re a marine? Generally interested in what that brought to your point

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

@Boom Boom Apathy is a bully

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Meh, I don't mind guys, so just let it go. I like having discussions, even when we disagree. I personally thought it was a good discussion with fact based information until the "geez, please stop" comment. If Chaz gets upset by that type of discourse, then no hard feelings if he blocks me.

Show some grace. He was probably suffering from crayon withdrawal. The boys in Jacksonville say it makes ya cranky.

Those are fighting words!

 

[geehaad]

don’t tell me to chill

please stop

Effectively, these are equivalent...being told to chill is the same as being told to stop. It's an affront to you when someone tells you to ease up, yet you are comfortable telling someone to stop talking.

What? No Bo's parking lot action? Board is getting soft.

Blocking is the new Bo’s fights

@AD Skinner put the invitation out there. Any takers?

I'm busy getting fitted for new compression pants or I'd be at Boj waiting for y'all already.

 

[Sigurd]

I think this week has been a testy/more emotional one for this board with the trade deadline drama. There's been A LOT of arguing relative to normal days this season.

I think we should be able to agree to disagree whenever there's a difference of opinion. As someone said before recently on our board, we're a small group.
