Well then was Crosby playing in the Def zone a lot?
I didn’t think so

And I’m pretty sure the Kessel line didn’t get heavy Def zone time

They made it work somehow
- jdfitz77

Their third line was. Again, it's just basic math. Someone is doing it.

So Botterill is gonna pick the guys you want. ROR costs what he costs. He brings a ton to the team. If you're gonna trade him - which I'm not against! - it needs to be for something smarter than a lottery ticket
- jcragcrumple

Why the guys that I want? How about not comparing the history of two poor GM's to the one with no track record yet?

Again...
what are the league-wide averages here?

Are u expecting Botts to be that much better?
Or to not make bad picks like EVERYONE does?

I have far more confidence in Botterill's drafting ability than Regier or Murray. It really isn't that high of a bar.

Beniot Poulliot thanks you for your confidence from his spot at 4th overall.

Pink napkins, silverware, white plates with silver chargers...oh, Terry will be so happy

I think he meant an adam larsson type player... Like a taylor hall.
- TheHank

I thought he meant get an Adam Larsson. To which I say "(frank) no".

Dude, his jet is all over the (frank)ing place. It's a business jet. I bet he's not even on it at least half the time.

C’mon Bruins...this should have been over 3 games ago...you get the matchups you want, no excuses.

it's not worth it

15-16 playoffs

Line 4- Cullen- 13:50 per game, 86% def zone

Line 1- Crosby- 20:26, 43.3% def zone
Line 2- Malkin- 17:31, 26.9% def zone
Line 3- Kessel- 17:47, 29.8% def zone


A bit extreme, but it can work

Taking O’Reilly down to 17-18min & even 50% defensive zone starts would be significant imo

But you’re also probably right that it likely wouldn’t play out like that
Bc we don’t have a “Cullen”
It’s possible though

so its going to cleveland ohio and leaving in 3 hours ?

it's a dinner meeting

i'm never wrong with his jet

The Kessel line?
I don’t think so
- jdfitz77

Call it the Kessel line if you like, but you shouldn't. I chose to look at their centers and who's taking the draws. Their third line is 65% dzone start.

Of course he will.
- sbroads24

So then we are just kinda crossing our fingers that he’d hit it big on whatever mid1st pick we might get for ROR

The odds still aren’t good...
correct?

Bonino was 46.7% as their 3rd line center in that playoffs

-- Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula was even more direct, claiming the league was "under assault" because of the rising tide of protests, sponsor unhappiness and declining TV ratings.

“We need some kind of immediate plan because of what’s going on in society," he said. "All of us now, we need to put a Band-Aid on what’s going on in the country.”

He also suggested the league find a point person -- preferably a player -- to combat what he called a "media problem." But his example was a poor choice, considering the already-charged political climate.

“For years we’ve watched the National Rifle Association use Charlton Heston as a figurehead,” Pegula said. “We need a spokesman.”

“... For us to have a face, as an African-American, at least a face that could be in the media, we could fall in behind that.”





that last line
