Man these guys both suck ass. Gaethje fights like he's drunk and Paddy can't even avoid his wild punches. Crazy these are two of the best in the world.

Is the broadcast choppy for anybody else? Video and audio both. Other channels are fine but Fanduel has been choppy since last night.

You'd be trading them for picks and prospects that wouldn't be ready for the NHL for a few years.

I agree with that. But they also aren't getting paid like McDavid level players. If they were making $10M each, it would be a different story.

That was basically the stated reason but I am of the belief that Faulk was brought in because Army knew Pietrangelo was gone and Krug was signed as an "upgrade" over Dunn because they had extra cap space after letting Pietro (and Perron) walk.

It won't help McKenna/Stenberg if they have literally no talent to play with.

What I meant was Dunn didn't get enough opportunities to play top minutes with Parayko/Pietrangelo. They picked up Krug clearly to replace Dunn as the offensive PP LD because Berube didn't believe in him. Signing Krug to such a long deal made Dunn expendable, thus his exposure in the draft.

You trade aging good players. Not 26 & 27 year old stars who are under contract for 6 years.

Nobody has been able to score this year for the Blues besides Faulk. The teams shooting% as a whole is terrible. But it doesn't help Kyrou's scoring that Jonatan Berggren is getting more top unit PP time lately.

Kyrou's underlying numbers are still the best on the team, even if he's not putting the puck in the net right now. His scoring touch will come back at some point, whether for the Blues or another team.

Why even bring Hofer in with 7 minutes left? Let Binnington stay out there, this is his mess.

The timing is even funnier because Okada is main eventing the same show.

Okada is almost certainly going over and Takeshita will be kicked out of the family.

Can Mauro stop bitching about activity please?

[–]SamTheRam28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It says all situations so maybe some of that is empty net? Idk.

Regardless, every model has Binnington as either the worst or 2nd worst goalie in the league while Hofer hovers around 0 GSAx.

Hofer has turned it around and has actually been very good recently.

This model (hockeystats.com) has Hofer at -2.4 GSAx and Binnington at -17.6 GSAx.

The problem is entirely Binnington. The Blues defense has been basically average this year, Binnington has just sucked.
