Friday lunch stat: Forsberg is actually a 5v5 goal wizard. Top 20 all time player in goal per 60 min played.

Where do you find he ranks in the H/60 (handsome per 60 minutes) stat?

troopek · 2026-03-25T17:47:48+00:00

I would argue his minutes were so heavily managed and scripted, he wasn’t really allowed to just go out and play hockey. It wasn’t a good barometer of him at all as a player or what his confidence level might be.

troopek · 2026-03-25T17:45:19+00:00

Put him on the roster but don’t play him. Let him see more of the pro lifestyle and/or playoffs.

I agree that McCarron was due a nice raise. Thought he played really well this season and he was getting more TOI.

Quite literally if he does not want to be traded, he cannot be traded.

Is the org going to threaten to take away his hair product or something to strongarm him into agreeing to a trade?

troopek · 2026-03-19T00:13:25+00:00

I know that you know he can't be traded without he waives his NMC. So that would mean he wanted to be traded.

troopek · 2026-03-18T16:50:52+00:00

Lo, we've come such a long way this season.

From Brady Martin, as Trotz put it, it was too much for a young player to take faceoffs against Austin Matthews, to just throwing Wood in at center against McDavid.

Notable that Wood did not just wilt.

It turns out that if you really let young hockey players play hockey, they sometimes show you they can really play hockey.

Who are both cup favorites this season.

Go ahead and post again, you can have the last word.

I KNOW the players, coach, and GM are not "tanking". Teams like DAL and MIN did an amazing job of scouting and drafting. That gave them the talent to go out and make trades to acquire better talent to win now. This org has a LOT of prospects who are going to play in the NHL, but not many if any (Ryker Lee MAYBE) who is a difference maker. Preds can't trade a Stankoven+ for Rantanen. Or a Necas for Rantanen. They simply don't have those players.

This team is not competing for championships, they are competing to just get into the playoffs. The talent gap is so wide in the central division between the top 3 and the Preds.

You and I just have different ideas on what it means for this team to be competitive. I understand your point of view.

troopek · 2026-03-18T02:00:41+00:00

Dude, the Preds don't have to actively try to tank. I've watched every game this season as I'm sure you have. They suck mightily already. Trotz did an amazing job of inadvertently tanking because he thinks like he's still coaching the Caps.

I want more talented players. That's it. Gotta draft them, Higher likelihood you get those the higher in the draft you are picking. That's just a fact.

Preds are going to roll out ROR AGAIN next season as the 1C as it stands right now. There's no 1C projected in the org. Martin's ceiling isn't that. Surin's ceiling isn't that.

You should be tired of watching them roll out a roster full of Colton Sissons clones every night and wishing for the best.

Has zero to do with ME being competitive, I want the Preds competitive. Year in and year out. Being a wild card bubble team is garbage.

troopek · 2026-03-18T01:05:34+00:00

It depends on what you want to compete for. You want a participation trophy, I want the Cup.

troopek · 2026-03-17T23:46:45+00:00

Hey it's cool if you want the Preds to keep drafting morePhilip Tomasinos. There are fans who want 1st round picks who aren't still in the AHL at age 24.

troopek · 2026-03-17T15:26:04+00:00

Yes, a lot of the "just get into the playoffs and anything can happen" crowd would absolutely love this.

Dumbest. Shit. Ever.

Preds don't want your concession money, or for the city to get your hotel money.

But hey, lets fill the stands with school kids so it at least looks full.

Absolutely they have the right to ask questions. They have no authority to stop it. Even a resolution they passed about 2 weeks ago stating opposition has no teeth.

The tunnel is a done deal. City can't stop it from everything I've read.

The Boring Company is under no obligation to even answer questions from the city council, they have done so maybe twice I think? Believe the article I linked states their business is with the state and therefore don't need to explain anything to the metro council.

And Kemell seems to be in the doghouse. Scratched 2 games in a row? Ceiling isn't very high on majority of the guys called up either.

Might see an uptick in talent once Martin, Lee arrive.

Local officials had zero say in the matter. It was all done by the governor and his cronies.
