Pronman himself says he is VERY conservative with how he projects goalies. The guy definitely puts in his research time, imho. A clarification for what he means by has a chance: Have a chance: Probably not an impact guy but could play in the league and has the toolkit to have an outside chance to be a real player. Have a chance refers to probability to be a good player, not his probability to play NHL games. From his explanation article: I value goalie prospects very conservatively. In the past 10 years or so, I’ve only rated one goalie who I thought would be a top-tier player (Andrei Vasilevskiy) and only a handful who I’d project to be a starting goalie in the NHL. FWIW, I am really digging the NHL coverage in the Athletic.

Larkin's contract had nothing to do with Z. Why would a player sign for less term or money based on another player's status? And if I had a choice between Z being on the roster vs any of Rass, Zadina, or Hronek, I choose Z every time. Even if his abilities are weakened, he's still better than any of those 3. Plus, he has earned the right to call it quits when he wants to. If this team isn't a contender, then it doesn't hurt anything to keep him on the roster.

Not a bad idea. Conference call podcast....

Thanks. My phone sucks at pasting gifs

I remember that Thornton dive all too well. There was a gif made of it that gave Franzen a lightsaber. Here is a link https://m.imgur.com/gallery/nZtLjRy

Vanek shouldn’t have been signed to begin with. Z is on a contract and Vanek wasn’t. Signing him effectively removed a free roster spot for Zadina or Ras. Holland will continue to have filler roster spots with actual NHL players rather than give it away to rookies or AHL players. If we lost Zetterberg and Nielsen tomorrow; Holland would go out and get an NHL veteran to fill in the roster spot. It’s what he does.

Hockey Guy needs to stop trying to do 10 videos about nothing a day, and do 1 or 2 well researched videos instead. If that many. I started watching for a while, but he was so wrong, so often, that it was just agonizing to watch anymore. If it's not a team that he follows, he seems pretty clueless, but that doesn't stop him from plodding on and just using alternative facts for what he doesn't know, and then if called out in the comments, he gets all pissy about someone simply correcting him. He did a "History of The Red Wings" video a few months ago, that was so factually inaccurate that when I picked apart his errors, he started deleting my comments. He was so whiny, I thought he was going to start throwing sand. I'm surprised he didn't block me, but then again, I pretty much stopped watching after that anyway. If you're going to make videos, and try to make a living off of doing it, you better damn well have your facts straight. And if you don't, at least grow some thicker skin. Probably a soccer fan.

Wot in contract negotiation are you talkin' bout?? First things first, this is 100% pulled out of your ass. There is no evidence to support any of that. You've conjured this all up in your imagination. That being said, you really think Larkin was willing to take less, but Holland just said "eh f*** it, Zbergs done, here's another 1M kid"? Holland would have to be the moron of the century, like can't even manage an Arby's level dumb, because there is no industry where that is good business. Players and GMs do not negotiate contracts based on what a 3rd party's health/employment status is. That would be ridiculous. I have 3 employees that work directly for me. I am sacking one of them in October. No, the other two will not get raises because of that. Secondly, Larkin was willingly just going to give up $5 million dollars because Zberg might play another year? Why? I could give you some ground to stand on if this team was on the verge of a cup, but as you mentioned yourself, there's a good chance were bottom 5. Larkin and his agent would have to be complete meat-head level morons as well. Hell, even AA handcuffed the team last year, and the team capitulated and traded Sheahan to accommodate him. Larkin commands, and rightly so, much more of a right/ability to do that than AA does. And that leads me again to, why does this tall-tale of yours apply only to Larkin? Why didn't AA just take 1M less? Why didn't Mantha just take 1M less? Not only is your story a complete fabrication, it's not even a plausible one all the way around.

Guy needs to get his facts straight. He says Buffalo traded him to Detroit in 2001 and Detroit wanted him because they had tried and failed with Curtis Joseph. But CuJo was not here until after Hasek retired the first time out of Detroit in June 2002. Plus he said we traded to Buffalo Vlad Kozlov. Who? Dont you mean Slava Kozlov? Sorry hockey guy, if you're going to have a name like hockey guy, know your facts. Until then just stop making videos.

Yes, I was talking about Jack Hughes... Why would I be talking about Quinn Hughes?...

Who would need to eat crow? I don't recall anyone saying that he was going to play. Only that some of us are being optimistic and haven't given up on the idea of him playing this season. When Z says he's done, then he's done. Not before.

Manwhore...
