GDT #17: Pens @ Wild

I know that +/- isn't a perfect stat, but it is kind of telling that Rust is a -11, which is tied for worst in the team with Letang. Then comes Crosby and Guentzel with -5 so the stats backs up that they have had some rough games together... Dumoulin is suprisingly +/- 0 now...

Politics And Current Events

I think it is a test of NATO's resolution and an attempt to divide the members. I expect very little to happen, but personally, I would have sunk one of their Black Sea ships and told them that I will sink two next time they make a mistake.

Sorry, I am on Team meow. Unless you have a r-tard as manager, the deadline should be somewhat realistic. "This product you are developing should be released/delivered date xy". Then it is up to the team to either do something "good enough" or communicate to the manager that they need more resources...

I am not a native speaker so you can discard this, but I would say that I have a deadline approaching. So "he is on a deadline" seems 1000 times better than on deadline.

I wonder how many cups Crosby would have had with a Quenniville, Julien, Sutter or Trotz instead of Bylsma. Of course, he won 2009 (had a decent 2011 considering injuries) and it led to Sullivan being hired to win 2016 and 17. I am not demanding a world class coach, but meow could have taken the 201...

I would like to bring Kessel back if all of these things are mostly fulfilled/satsified
1 - He takes close to league minimum
2 - He still has a high top speed
3 - He is aware that he can be a healthy scratch once in a while
These three things would make him as useful as a Heinen, I belive.

Kasperi Kapanen re-signed - 2 year $3.2M

Hmm.. I like that we resigned Kapanen from an asset point of view, but I am not a fan of this contract. Two years at 3.2 and then he is a UFA... I think that could actually reduce his trade value. We probably need to show case him to sell him to someone. Otherwise, he would just be a throw-in in a t...

Petry, Poehling to the Pens for Matheson and a pick

I would have been all over this trade before last season. Sullivan used Matheson really well, but perhaps it will be an improvement for Sullivan to not service Matheson's needs.

A big shot is much wanted :)
