Matthews too, 29 EV goals and 5 PPG, and only 13 PPP.

Not McDavid. A whopping 5 PPG last year and 11 for his entire career. Kinda throws a wrench in the "everyone's good on the PP" thing, eh?
- Wetbandit1

Depends on the position they play on the PP.

McDavid is their set up man, for obvious reasons.

Ovechkin is in the slot to score goals.

Eichel was in the slot and literally he was the only guy teams cared about.

Are you going to try and say that McDavid or Matthews are actually worse with less opposition players on the ice?

I think it’s an opportunity to add a 5th or 6th member of the 22 and under core that we could have 10+ years with

Eichel
Dahlin (I’m still in shock)
Reinhart
Mittelstadt
Guhle
Top 10 pick

- sbroads24


no..not Reinhart...no.

Visions of Dahlin in Risto's spot next to Jack will have me smiling all summer. 2 right shots awkwardly playing next to each other has bothered me for years.

Of course not, I'm simply saying that being good on the PP is a skill in itself. McDavid is a poopty setup man on the PP then. He had 15 assists, the garbage Risto had 22. Some great players are simply not very good on the PP. It's not as simple as throwing anyone on and they'd produce.

Why would you have your best player not have the PP run through them? That's just dumb.

No poop.

That avatar suits him perfectly, flailing all over the place but not going anywhere.

I am told by an extremely reliable #Bills source there was no offer of 2019 first round draft pick by the #Bills "...for Julio Jones or anything else, at any time."

Social media rumor, debunked.

Oh come on man.

O’Reilly went from 8 PP goals to 15. Yet our PP went from 1st to 20th.

Literally because teams only wanted to shut down Jack Eichel’s shot.

Not because O’Reilly has some super PP skill this year that he didn’t have last year.

There are some players who are better, sure. But it’s marginal.

First assists per 60

McDavid - 2.89
Ristolainen - 2.37

Taking shots from the point doesn’t make you better than McDavid on the PP

This seems like a tall order. How are we getting those theee off the books?

I have no urge to move all 3. I just can’t imagine all three are back.

- sbroads24


You're moving the goalposts a bit. You mention RORs salary a ton, but when I mention that it isn't a problem if we get rid of the quasi-useless money elsewhere, you deflect.

Moulson and Pommer come off next year, only a bit of patience required.

Bogo will be moveable at the deadline in a year and a half.

Okposo will be moveable if he has a rebound year, or even this summer if we throw in a prospect.

We don't need the cap space now anyway. ROR will still be moveable for a nice profit. As it is, every year that the cap goes up, and he keeps getting his 20g, 37a, his salary looks better and better. Let's solve the problematic contracts before we open up holes by moving useful players

Ristolainen gets points on the powerplay

Everyone criticizes.

Ignore the fact that Ovechkin would have never even hit 50 goals in a season without the PP.

- BeadyEyedDouche


Risto is going anywhere ............ nor is Sam, nor is Okposo and nor is O=Reilly.

There’s a difference in reasoning to want to move Bogo vs. O’Reilly

Bogo is a waste taking up a roster spot from someone who could be valuable.

O’Reilly is moved to sell an asset high and gear up for 2-3 years down the road

The big difference in our opinions is simple. You think O’Reilly is a high end player. I don’t

Or keep him, dump salary in the form of Okposo, Bogo, Moulson, pommer, and use picks to acquire a winger, and keep our existing good players - Risto, ror and Reinhart.
- jcragcrumple


Doesn't Okposo have a no trade ? He's not going anywhere.

I think 2C is a core position, and I think ROR is an elite 2C

He is on any other team in the league ..... that is why the ONLY way we move him is an overpay.
