Hi everyone,
Please use my charts. I don't ask for money or anything - they're public and free. But please do not snip off the credits at the bottom. That's where I include the name/handle of the data creators. They deserve credit for the data I use to make vizzes.

In high school, my math teacher gave us an assignment. We started with 100% and lost 2% for every mistake we made. One student made 53 mistakes, earning a grade of -6%. He'd have improved his results by doing nothing at all.
Anyway, just thinking about Lou's Isles a bit today.

Can we all step back for just one second and think about poor Matt Duchene.

Every time Lou orchestrates another low-ceiling, long-term, depth forward signing, I think about how hard Dubas must've been working to make sure things like this didn't happen in Toronto.

The prevailing narrative has been something like, "Can the youngster GM Kyle Dubas hack it now that he's on his own?"
Maybe we should be saying, "Look how much easier it is for Dubas to operate with Lamoriello and Hunter removed from the mgmt table."

If you cobble together enough of these, you've got an Erik Karlsson trade package.

Kypreos tying TOR to trade rumours around Pietrangelo. Kypreos mentioned Zaitsev going the other way (along with picks and some young/talented).
This would be, uh, a big win for TOR.

I'm all for piling on the Sens for their terrible play, poor front office decisions, and their meddling owner. But I have no interest at all in chastising the players for a conversation in an Uber, whether the recording or legal or isn't. People are allowed to blow off steam.

*BREAKING*
Oilers set to sign sturdy, dependable, stay-at-home defender from Swiss League. Chiarelli: "We think he's a guy who can really carry water for us on the back end. Capable of soaking up big minutes."
Swiss pre-season game was about to be cancelled due to water dripping onto the ice but the refs decided to fix the issue with a bucket. Not an everyday scene

The thing about a Duchene for Ceci deal is that it's a win-win.
OTT gets a talented scorer.
And OTT gets rid of Ceci.

CAR acquires Hamilton for a good price. Then doesn't get enough for Skinner.
BUF acquires Skinner for a good price. Didn't get enough for ROR.

A lesson in poor breakouts under zero pressure:
- skate onto your partner's side
- your partner is Gardiner but you ignore him
- wait until a forechecker gets a stick into yours
- chip an inaccurate pass the length of the ice
- create an icing with <2 mins in a tied game

If I was the GM of *checks notes* any other team, I'd be offering Lou my grittiest 30-something year-old player to get Ho-Sang.
Lamoriello on Ho-Sang: “Thought he worked hard, gave us everything he had... He just needs to go to the minors, he’s got ability, go there and get over all these issues that I haven’t seen, that transpired in the past. He’s been excellent in camp. Just go grow and get better.”

I know it's tempting to feel upset with Nylander for his part in the contract impasse with the Leafs. But I just keep reminding myself that players have short careers and are paid by billionaire owners and, if there's a side to get on, it should usually be the player's side.

Good morning,
Marc-Andre Fleury has prevented ~18 goals more than an average goalie would have in his spot.
That's about 14 goals better than Braden Holtby, who is third-best in the playoffs.

In another era, Phil Kessel would've 10/10 flown down the wing, helmet-free, smoking a cigarette while snapping a shot top-corner.
You know, we might even see him do it in this era.

I have free agency thoughts:
- Tavares is worth it, Carlson isn't
- Pateryn, Roussel could be nice, cheap adds for depth
- there will be no offer sheets

A look at the value added and lost by teams so far in this off-season (including signings and trades)
Buf, Car, Phi, and Cgy have made the most net gains.
Ott, Bos, Wpg, and Nyi have suffered the greatest net losses.
