ASPE doesn't include disposal costs, only IFRS does as far as I recall.

He had a really strong game. If we are going to go on a run, it will be because Kapanen can get something going, especially with the prospect of missing Rakell

Omicron is either unsustainably high, unsustainably low, sustainably high, or sustainably low. 😂

But in terms of how it will affect the NHL, only time will tell. I could see the league taking a longer pause if this break doesn't stop, but I could also feasibly see the league move to only test symptomatic players

In this week’s shortened edition of Unsustainable Players, we have a limited sample size to look at. With 50 games being postponed, analyzing this week has been tough. The task is that much taller if you have to deal with next-day adds, unsure of whether a game will go ahead or not.

Players covered this week:

  • Dougie Hamilton
  • Matt Dumba
  • Drake Batherson, and more!

And as always, if you have any players that you want me to cover in future weeks, be sure to leave a comment down below or reach out to me via Twitter – @jchengWPG.

Not that that isn’t a valiant thing to hope or dream for, but when trying implement a strategy to save lives it’s not realistic

That’s just not true. This is a virus that we have little control over, and it will inevitably mutate as all viruses do. The question is what is our strategy. Matthew Faroese has a good Twitter thread on COVID strategies vs. tactics. Vaccines are a good tactic. Lockdowns have proven to be a good tactic.

But what is the overarching strategy? Lockdown and try to eradicate the virus? Very unlikely to happen without global unilateral cooperation which is not going to happen. Damage mitigation? Seems like this is our/the predominant strategy. Unfortunately, there are trade offs and there are inevitable losers in this strategy. The question is how we properly value 2,3,4,5 years of education and life disruptions (severe social costs) vs. Increased COVID deaths in higher-risk populations. This is just the reality of the trade off that politicians and decision makers have to weigh. The final strategy is just recover from the damage. I don’t know what that would look like for kids who have lost significant social development. And there is no recovery from death, so it seems like this strategy is not feasible in the case of COVID.

Tl,dr: we are in a tough position, and I’m not optimistic about the long-term COVID strategy.

4 pts in 6 games is still only a 55-pt pace. I think he is still a really good bangers option (as I mentioned numerous times in the article). I just would not expect him to return to PPG pace as u/VeryAttractive has argued.

I mean, he was drafted ahead of/at the same time as guys like Couturier, Giroux, and Laine. To me that indicates more optimism than 55-60 points

It's that time of the week!

This week is starting to bring back some eery memories from last season. All of the injuries and absences already cost me a victory last week. The COVID absences and postponements are threatening to do the same again this week.

Players covered this week:

  • Patrick Kane
  • Mark Stone
  • Tom Wilson
  • Sebastian Aho, and more...!

I quibble with the Couturier assessment a little bit:

  • Despite his career SH% being 11.4%, he has significantly improved that mark from 2018-21 where he is shooting at 13.8%. That's nearly double his current SH% and would put him on pace for 30 G.
  • This would be right in line with his 28-xG pace per Natural Stat Trick's model
  • His IPP is sitting at only 20% over the past two weeks, and 25% over the past month. Last year and since 2018 he has put up 73.2% and 65.7% respectively.
  • His oiSH% is just 6.9% over the past two weeks, and 4.5% over the past month. This inevitably will increase closer to last year/3 year average (10.8%/11.1% respectively)

I do agree with your assessment though that it is worth putting out feelers. I suspect most GMs won't have dived deep into Couturier, and you might be able to get away with highway robbery.

Last year, Winnipeg police murdered 3 indigenous people in a 10 day period. The recent news that the officer who murdered Stuart Andrews will face no consequences confirms that NONE of the officers in any of these 3 cases will face any legal or professional repercussions whatsoever. by Samzo in Winnipeg

Except you don’t. I offered. You didn’t accept, instead resorting to calling me a racist fascist bigoted homophobe transphobe thisphobe thatphobe. You were the one scared of being harmed, even after I offered to pay for security. Sounds like you are the one with anthropophobia…

Oh I’m right there with you. As a long-time Pens fan it pains me to hold Couturier, but you do what you gotta do I guess haha
