When he was speaking he was good. Very comfortable, not boring to listen to. But you could tell he was a newbie. Whenever John Keating was talking his gaze was darting around everywhere, and you could tell he was looking at the producer/coordinator behind the camera or whatever. Got keep those eyes on Keating or the camera Big Bert. That's prolly easy to work on and fix though. Hope he does more. I love to see new faces in the booth.

AA is on pace for a 40 pt season, that's not all that bad if you're willing to look past the fact that he's on pace to be -90 Unless he demands a trade Stevie might be able to lock him up on a 2x2 or a 3x2. I think AA will want 2 years because that will take him to UFA.

Only considering roster players. Everyone knows we're not trading blue chip prospects right now.

Has Larionov ever even coached a game? He's Director of Hockey Ops for SKA St. Petersburg and a player agent. Seems like he's going the executive route, not the coaching route.

I'll say it again: Anyone not named Larkin, Fabbri, Bertuzzi, Mantha, or Hronek should be made available for trade. If we can get a good return for AA at the TDL or draft pull the trigger. Could bring that extra pick we need for the goalie...

Filip Larsson was just moved to IR for the Toledo Walleye Besides the disappointing news that he's injured just 10 games into his first season, he also hasn't been very good. 7 games stint in GR: 0.843 sv% and 4.01 GAA ***Demoted to ECHL*** 3 game stint in TOL: 0.886 sv% and 3.04 GAA Not exactly a good sign. With the acquisition of Pickard and Comrie for this season and another after, it signals to me that Yzerman isn't bringing on any of our goalie prospects anytime soon. Goalie depth: Howard: Expiring Bernier: 1 more season Comrie: 1 more season Pickard: 1 more season Larsson: 2 more seasons Fulcher: 2 more seasons Own rights: Keith Petruzzelli, almost 21, ECAC, playing well Jesper Eliasson, almost 20, Allsvenskan, playing average Victor Brattstrom, almost 23, Alllsvenskan, playing well Carter Gylander, 18, AJHL, playing well (Yzer-pick) I'm not particularly excited for any of those roster goalies or any of those un-signed players at this point. The only goalie rotating out is Howard, so it makes sense for us to find a replacement Starter. Running Bernier/Comrie/Pickard next year probably massively shoots this team in the foot. Our best options so far at UFA: Robin Lehner ------ will be 29 -- 0.924 sv% -- 2.89 GAA -- $5 mil AAV (probs getting re-signed) Jacob Markstrom -- will be 30 -- 0.915 sv% -- 2.68 GAA -- $3.6 mil AAV (probs getting re-signed) Thomas Greiss ---- will be 34 -- 0.924 sv% -- 2.39 GAA -- $3.3 mill AAV (probs available) Jaroslav Halak ----- will be 35 -- 0.928 sv% -- 2.26 GAA -- $2.7 mil AAV (probs available) Anton Khudobin --- will be 34 -- 0.927 sv% -- 2.28 GAA -- $2.5 mill AAV (probs available) Pavel Francouz ---- will be 30 -- 0.932 sv% -- 2.26 GAA -- $0.9 mill AAV (probs getting re-signed) Brayden Holtby ---- will be 31 -- 0.909 sv% -- 2.82 GAA -- $6.1 mill AAV (probs available) After these players we may as well re-sign Howard. Maybe we get a younger version of old Howard... Plenty of other teams will be looking for backups for their young starters, so it's not even certain we will get an honest shot at signing a stop gap like Greiss, Halak, or Khudobin... unless they're willing to take money to suck. And I'm not entirely certain Yzerman even wants to throw money at a 34 year old stop gap. If we actually get an honest shot at Lehner, Markstrom, Francouz, or Holtby we will probably have to throw term at them. With those goalies none is probably going to be our savior, but they should be serviceable for the next 3-5 years. Meaning we have to have one of our 4 unsigned goalies work out, or we need to find a goalie in the next 2-3 drafts... For reference, our good friend Holland was unable to find a goalie in the draft from 2011 to 2015, and no goalies drafted from 2015 to 2018 have worked out yet. That's no success in 5-8 drafts. So basically what I'm saying is... our outlook in net is about as bleak as it possibly can be, and this is a pitch for Yaroslav Askarov. He's likely going to be the highest drafted goalie since Marc-Andre Fleury in 2003, and would immediately shore up the entire position with one pick. Yzerman can sign his stop gap, and then we can reasonably expect to see Askarov moving on to the roster in 1-3 seasons... That's a nice timeline considering our situation. In all likelihood we will be drafting at the #4 spot (50.6% chance). Askarov is probably going somewhere top10. I don't think it's an unreasonable pick at #4 if Yzerman likes him. Suddenly our depth would look something like this: UFA Starter -- NHL Bernier ------- NHL Askarov ------ NHL / AHL Comrie ------- NHL / AHL Pickard ------- AHL Larsson ------ AHL / ECHL Fulcher ------- ECHL That outlook appears much nicer for the future than random UFA starter + more B/C grade goalie prospects. That's an uncertain future with us being at best average in net for the next 3+ years at minimum. Search your feeling... you know it is true... we must draft the 2nd coming of Tretiak

Incorrect, he sucks

Why does Perlini suck? Cause he sucks or bad linemates?

Yes You're gonna lose using ad hominems You're stooping to the level you complained about in your opening statement

Best player on the wings and no can prove me wrong

OMMG PLZ SCORE

Ephasis on good skin too. Guys has no blemishes

Fil is lowkey hot. He's got like olive skin + blue eyes + blond hair. Weird in a good way

Larkin passing right into the skates of bert like wtf dood

Still hard for me to see Goose in a jackets jersey. Just not his color.

Id dont blame Bert for not shooting that, Mantha woulda had a wide open net. Jackets goallie was ready for bert

I easily see why Biega was a fan fav in Van. Fearless and works his butt off every shift, even if he doesn't have a ton to give, I love that.

Those breakaways just wernt sustainable.

He's always been a divisive player for good reason. His game is fundamentally flawed.

HA Zadina isnt good dood. All the pros know it. Die on that hill thou I guess.

I mean he's only 23 he could grow into a top 6 player still

who

I literally have 3 screens: the game, LGW, and youtube video 10 hour fireplace

My core right now that I don't break up is: Larkin/Fabbri/Bertuzzi/Mantha/Hronek anybody after that is available. Thinking specifically of roster players here.

I always read it as Per Da Jews
