It should be a quite advantageous trade for NYI. Getting a 2nd for just a few spots down in the picking order.
Or has Chicago stolen all teams' draft lists and really really want someone that will go as 18-19? :p

If you get to attend, please ask Katherine what data she used or provided that indicated Ryan Graves was worth signing.
I actually thought about that. It would be nice to know the reason for signing him.

He has done the research in his spare time but has finally receiv...

For sport analytics nerds: It appears that one of the largest conferences in hockey analytics (LINHAC) is connected to my university. I have appended a few pdfs if you want to read a little bit.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
I would do Karlsson for Marner in a heartbeat, but as said before we probably need to add to that.
My biggest issue would be that Marner could leave for free after next season, while Karlsson should be a net positive for the next three years. Especially if we get a proper PP manager.

2013 is probably my worst disappointment during my years of rooting for Pens.
Shero did some great moves (in theory) and we had a great team. I still believe that an average NHL coach would have won the cup with that team.

That is why we used him to get EK B)Not a Pens prospect anymore but Nathan Legare somehow managed to decrease his production this year to 12 points in 54 games

EK has been confirmed as a player for Team Sweden during the World Championship. I hope that he does not get injured. But he will definitely contribute to our team.

mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness
Nice to hear that I am not too way off with my thoughts. If I coached, I would probably ask EK to set up the powerplay that he wants and run it through him. I know it is Sid's team, but EK has to be one of the best PP specialists in this Era. If Sid, Malkin and Letang complains, I would let them run...

Am I the only one who likes the Karlsson trade even now, one year after it? We lost 14th overall, which is bad. And we lost Legare, who I am mot sure will be an NHLer. But we got Karlsson that is still a good player and hopefully rebounds next year. Additionally, we got rid of Granlund, Ruutta and C...

I can submit a list if you think I can contribute. However, It will focus very heavily consist of players from the first Stanley Cup up to now.

Damm it. Seems I am living in 2017... I could entertain a trade built around Graves, however...The oft-injured 31 year old captain of his team with a full NMC that has six years left at $7.75 per who is playing at 46 point pace since 2021-22...?

I agree. It is stupid to keep a soon to be UFA if you aren't a contender but can get assets for him.People need to get over losing Jake.
Without a contract in place, it was the smart move and the right move.

GMKD did nothing for 5 months and then threw in the towel. I'd be pissed, too. It’s insane how quickly the media and fans soured on Dubas. He walked into a real **** situation and made some moves that were fairly well praised before the start of the season. Well, except for Graves. He’s tasked with...

IMO, that seems to be a bigger knock on the pro scouting team than it is Dubas given how little time he had in the org prior to free agency. Feels like we need to clean house in scouting aside from the new guys he brought in in August. To note, this isn't me saying that Dubas is free of blame, espe...
