1million for taking them out for 20+ games without drawing discipline from player safety
500,000 if Reaves gets suspended in the process

This is how I feel. I feel like a lot of people criticizing this deal keep saying "IT'S BEEN PROVEN THAT ENFORCERS DON'T DETER BLAH BLAH BLAH". Well...no sht. That's not what I expect him to bring to the table necessarily. As you mentioned, sure we've been successful, but it's still annoying seeing our guys get thrown around like rag dolls.Have we been in a real fight + won it since 2012?
These things may not matter on the scoreboard but I also watch sports to be entertained. And seeing someone I don't like going through physical discomfort is entertaining to me. I don't like when the circus comes to town and our top 6 is in the crowd. But I quite enjoy it when it's the bottom of our lineup...under most conditions.

Hits and chasing after hits don't win games, either. Just ask Columbus, Washington (x2), San Jose, et al how that strategy worked.Well you see graphs and charts win games. Not big scary meanies. Someone should tell the bloggers that if what they preached mattered so much the penguins would have been bounced in round 1
It's almost as if there's a gray area in the middle...

If the NHL won't enforce the rules, you take matters into your own hands. Thus Ryan Reaves is now a Penguin.

Callahan's on my list, but he's still below Dubinsky, Wilson, and the entire Flyers organization.
Edit: Reaves can start the season off right by running Schenn into the upper bowl for the home opener.

This thread has been a great Monday morning read on the throne.

If I were a defenseman, I would not like to be hit by Reaves every time I pick up the puck in the corner during a 7-game-series...
I still wait for a team to employ three fast skating, heavy hitting, giants on their 4th line with the sole purpose of wearing the other team down

Fast skating giants are hard to find.

They weren't "giants" per se, but Matt Martin-Casey Cizikas-Cal Clutterbuck was kind of like that...Martin is a big dude, like Reaves...Cizikas is really strong, he was a lacrosse kid, I think he once killed a guy by accident too, and we all know Cluckerbucket and what he can do...

Out could also may something mental for the stars. Maybe Crosby will be "happier" knowing that the team got someone like this and that someone on the teamis willing to stand up for him.
Happier stars, more confident play.

I think I love this trade because it ruffled so many feathers within the advanced analytics community.
One roster spot isn't going to kill the team, it's not going to slow them down overall - and it's not like Sullivan wouldn't replace Reaves if need be depending on series.
I think this is a solid case of people getting wrapped up in stats over what the stars on the team think of this trade, as well as lockerroom type stuff.

ie Reaves is a mans man and that's a very positive thing in the NHL.

Exactly. Like I said if what they preached mattered so much the Penguins would have been gone in April.
I really think thats a huge part of it. They were all Botterill fan boys and are freaking out that the first move after he's gone Rutherford isn't going by the charts and graphs. I've seen one or two of them pretty much state that. It's no coincidence that the ALL HATE physical hockey players.

It seems all the people who hate this move are nerds who have never played a physical sport

Nah, nah, nah, that was just two months of being lucky and statistical noise...Those people can go pound sand. We proved them wrong all throughout the playoffs.Source of the post advanced analytics community
Instead of cycling, Reaves can take wrist shots from the right wing boards or as soon as he crosses the blueline...that will bump up his shot attempts...
I just wish NHL.com or someone would release an article that just shows how far beyond shots+missed shots they are in the analytics community...just so people can re-purpose their lives/blogs towards something more useful...

I don't think the move means that the Pens disregard advanced analytics per se.

Maybe the real analytics (not shots+missed shots, which is not "advanced" in any way) show how effective he is and it's a pro-analytics move...proprietary information > public information when it comes to this kind of thing...
Shots+blocked shots was made public because it was no longer useful to teams...that had already become stale...
Long line of this: individual shot counts, ice time, plus/minus, efficiency/save pct. -- all "advanced" stats, proprietary at one time...released to the public after clubs moved on...
