Nick Paul is so big and so girthy that the hole he left in the lineup will never be filled.Having Paul in the bottom 6 and on the PK this season over Joseph would be a big boost.

A lot of the advanced stats say otherwise. Seems to show a pretty significant decrease after 2017/2018. He had a nice bounce back year last year but this year he is displaying career lows in advance stats. A lot of blackhawk fans dont seem to like his play either they are just realistic in that they would most likely have to keep him for a bit since he is signed until 35, with a lot of bonus money up front.Seth Jones is still good. And if they retained quite a bit. Would be a GARGANTUAN improvement on Zaitsev and Hamonic
I used to like when they put Paul with Brady for a few shifts and they would regain physical control and be a menace on the forecheck. And Kastelic was in that role the other day. Playing with Brady. He seems to be making a case that he could take the Nick Paul role. Maybe not quite there yet but i like how he's coming along.Nick Paul is so big and so girthy that the hole he left in the lineup will never be filled.
You should say what the controls you are using in Your stats. Looks like all strengths. So numbers are skewed , as the Sens players play PK not PP.A lot of the advanced stats say otherwise.

One of these defenceman is Seth Jones. The others are Zaitsev and Hamonic. All three are not great at all but Jones isnt even the best one of the three haha let alone worth all that extra money
Overkill as in we have too many good d men?I think it would be overkill unless you get him at 5mill or less which seems impossible and why convos probably got no where
Chicago is an unmitigated disaster. If you don’t think he’s an improvement then alright. I think at 6 he’s a good add.A lot of the advanced stats say otherwise.

Have you seen Jones’ contract? 12.5, 12.5, 10.5 over the next 3 years. Even at 33% retained that’s huge dollars. Getting Chicago to retain for SEVEN years would cost a ton of assets capital. The contract is also buyout proof later on so nice he has a 5M SB every year.Overkill as in we have too many good d men?

Not a terrible idea but I doubt we can add contracts.Weren’t we the runner up for Craig Smith when he hit the UFA market a couple of years ago?
Wouldn’t mind taking on a sweetener (draft pick) to take on Smiths cap hit for the rest of the year, and he can also help us in the bottom 6.
Why would Dorion even ask Chicago about Jones when he knows the salary dollars to be paid?Have you seen Jones’ contract? 12.5, 12.5, 10.5 over the next 3 years.

Perhaps Dorion is going to "sell" our 1st round pick in 2023 for immediate help on D such as for Seth Jones with 50% salary retained by Chicago or Erik Karlsson with 50% salary retained by SJ.ya both Jones and Karlsson would have to come with major retention
which is probably why they haven't been traded
I had assumed that too but it seems at odds with the idea that we called about Jones.Not a terrible idea but I doubt we can add contracts.
I’m not buying that.I had assumed that too but it seems at odds with the idea that we called about Jones.
Yeah, that's probably a reasonable approach.I’m not buying that.
When did the tires get kicked?I had assumed that too but it seems at odds with the idea that we called about Jones.
Hope that isn't true (I could see this as being bogus pretty easily).I had assumed that too but it seems at odds with the idea that we called about Jones.
I like Jones, and think he's better than the fancy stats and general consensus these days suggest but he probably has one of the worst contracts out there so I have very little interest in him.Hope that isn't true.
Jones is 28 and that contract runs to the end of 2030.
Thank god Jones has a NMC.
Let's just get Zub and JBD back into the lineup and finish the year. Then, with new owners, let's try to get Zub signed and/or be active in free agency.
The possibility of a Dorion Hail-Mary desperation trade is very worrisome.
I don't think we need a panic trade. Our core is still young. We will get Zub & JBD back & then we can see where we are at. JMHO, but some patience right now will pay dividends I think. I have to wonder about the veracity of that info from Friedman.I like Jones, and think he's better than the fancy stats and general consensus these days suggest but he probably has one of the worst contracts out there so I have very little interest in him.

I agree the team doesn't need to make any panic moves but Dorion is probably feeling some pressure with new ownership on the way,I don't think we need a panic trade. Our core is still young.

He is on a very bad team. Come on he didn't just forget how to play the game. Comparing Jones to Zaitsev. Jesus. This is why advanced stats are not a primary tool to evaluate a player or team. You actually have to watch.A lot of the advanced stats say otherwise. Seems to show a pretty significant decrease after 2017/2018.

They likely want him to do nothing and won't let him do anything. There's probably very little pressure, that ship sailed for him a while ago. The only thing he should be allowed to do is extend Zub. The team shouldn't do a damn thing until that's done.I agree the team doesn't need to make any panic moves but Dorion is probably feeling some pressure with new ownership on the way,
This is true if you’re committed to thinking something really bad is going to happen. Dorion isn’t giving up that pick. If we were in the playoffs safely right now…maybe. Probably. But right now. Doubt itPerhaps Dorion is going to "sell" our 1st round pick in 2023 for immediate help on D such as for Seth Jones with 50% salary retained by Chicago or Erik Karlsson with 50% salary retained by SJ.
I think you mean buckle upDorion will do one more big trade before he gets replaced by new ownership
Book it
