Myers isnt going anywhere, I know for a fact, I think most do by now, that Darcy turned down a straight up Myers for Getzlaf trade.

really? Unless you know Darcy I doubt you know that was offered.

Chara led the Bruins in giveaways. Had 30 more than the next defenseman with 68. Ference had 38. I think that will be the same around the league

Subban 6th in the NHL in giveaways.

I really think a lot of those are on PP's. Would explain Chara's

Yea the more time you handle the puck the better chance of having a giveaway. simple math I guess haha

Weber had a lot of giveaways last year for only playing 50 games. 34, and he never sniffs the PP

if darcy was gm would he have traded mogilny to vancouver for michael peca? the only sabres team to make the stanley cup finals, in modern era hockey, was built by muckler and nolan. darcy has had a few good trades, like the briere trade, so i will give him credit on that. pointless rant out of frustration..........sorry.

That seems pretty bad yea. Maybe giveaways are a good indication of losing puck battles along the boards too? I dont know

You would have to compare guys that have similar TOI and PP time to really for a stat like this.

100% correct.

But he is on the penalty kill which is the excuse you just used for Myers unless I am mistaken?

Yea i'm not sure, those stats are never 100% but I bet when a defenseman saves the puck from coming across the blueline and it ends up going right to the opposition it counts as a turnover. Which isn't always a bad play.

Another stay at home physical defenseman has been recalled from Rochester.
Adam Pardy. I have heard he has been playing well down in Rochester.
I am happy with the move.
Matthew Coller from WGR has said Pardy was playing way to good to be kept in Rochester.

- TerryPegs

No I didn't. Myers would have played more PK minutes than Weber anyways. Just based on Chara's numbers I would think they are a lot of special teams plays and just being on the ice more in general. I would like there to be a stat that shows if a goal was scored off the turnover, or if it was an offensive zone or defensive zone turnover.

Nice. Ehfhoff will most likely not play then

He has been playing well, I'v seen him play a lot in person. Lets see what he can do for the big club.

The only problem with this is if he were to be sent back down to Rochester would he have to clear waivers again?
I was suprised he made it through the 1st time while Finley was claimed LOL.

Maybe a trade is coming and they are planning on keeping him up.

Thats a good point. I'm not familiar with the waiver rules that well.
