Your taking Sutter to get Lind, that is the whole idea, Lind would fit nicely at RW.

He has zero NHL games. What makes him better than Sir Tallness?

The ideal player in that 3C role is Andrew Copp.

I don’t see the Jets traded Copp. He is their 2C at the moment.

Good point. Although I thought I red that they may be moving players over 25
- Michael Pachla


That was reported, but they are in financial trouble, and I would think that would mean keeping players who have a lower salary compared to their actual cap hit.

Larsson, 5v5 defense with, -18% (good). Without 0% (eh)
Larsson PK defense with, +8% (fine). Without, +15% (less than fine)

Sutter, 5v5 defense with, +8% (not good). Without, +8%. Also not good.
Sutter PK defense with, +8% (fine). Without, +14% (less than fine)

Larsson has a better 5v5 defensive impact than Sutter at around half the cost. They're both ineffective on the PP. Offense for Larsson is -15% (bad) and offense for Sutter is -12% (bad).

For the money, Larsson is the clear winner. Even if he makes a million more.

I believe -18% is better than good defensively. It's one of the top numbers for forwards?

Another dandy little data point. The team is excessively better at the PK with Eichel on the ice rather than without.
- TheSabresTaco


It’s almost like really fast players that can make you pay with a broken stick makes you hesitant to drop clap bombs with only one man up top. Usually because that one guy isn’t nearly as fast either.

Does Lind have a high enough upside to take somebody is no better than a 4th line Center at this point in Sutter, and one that is injury prone on top of that?

You can pick the boat or the mystery box. The mystery box could even be a boat!

good is good. If you want a different synonym, I'll use excellent. If you want an adjective, I'll say exceptionally good.

It's good.

To answer your question, I don't know if it's one of the best. According to a user on this board, it's top 3.

This is why I have chosen to die on the defend Larry hill the last few months.

I can think of better hills to die on. That said, it is not lost on me, or anyone on this board, his defensive effectiveness.

A. Ehlers
B. Copp
C. Laine

- kingcong39


I’d honestly say Laine at this point due to the fact he’s due for another contract soon and Ehlers has proven to be the more impactful top 6 forward.

Laine most likely has more value than Copp as well.

Copp plays a position of need and is one of the best 3C’s in the league

Not saying they won't be bad coaches. But for (frank) sakes.

Live look at Pegulas looking at a list of qualified AHL coaches:
