I was digging around some other Corsi stuff and the whole Staal was a drag on Stralman's Corsi thing is the exact same thing as saying that Muzzin was a drag on Doughty's Corsi. Doughty's CF% was lower away from Muzzin and Muzzin's was higher away from Doughty. I guess Muzzin is the true defender on that pairing and Doughty is only successful because of Muzzin?

No, you're completely wrong. Neither of them play for the Rangers so you can't use one useless stat to say they suck. Try again.

Staal is either forces a trade to Carolina or signs there as a UFA to play with his brothers.

My uneducated opinion from afar: MTL likes, maybe really likes, Subban but doesn't LOVE him. And you have to LOVE someone at 8 x $8-9M+ per.

NYR has asked Dan Girardi to approve a trade to Montreal.

MTL and Subban still free to negotiate a long-term contract up until the arbitrator's ruling comes down. But once ruling is down, that's it.

Wait, is this serious?

I'm not the biggest Subban fan and I do love Girardi but as Jimbro said: "imagine"

Just entertaining this fantasy imagine how effective Dan Boyle would be with everyone having to worry about Subban's offense instead

Any idea why John Moore isn't signed yet? This seems like a no brainer

Man I find it funny how the NJ blogger basically talk about the same in every new blog he posts. How marty havlat and the 7th most efficient 5v5 scorer cammalleri will magically make them a playoff team.

And apparently they're gonna win shootouts this year too.

probably just keeping money available in case an opportunity arises. Moore doesn't have to be signed until training camp actually starts, he has no leverage. Sather don't play when he has the leverage.

yesterday on the Devil blog they laughed and said that Marty St. Louis is another year older, but at the same time they look forward to big things from Jagr and Elias this year.

Sather offered him a 2 year deal worth less than 900k a year. I guess john moore isn't itching to sign that and trying to hold out for more but its just a formality really.

Not really anymore. He ponied up for Mcdonagh, Girardi, Lundqvist, Brassard. But you are right in a sense. He's much tougher on RFA's without arbitration rights. I believe Hagelin and Stepan have arbitration rights next year. I assume both will be paid handsomely.

If they don't have arbitration rights then yea he kills them. Just doing his job I guess.

I swear he did it in Edmonton because he had to....but partially I think he really enjoys grinding down agents. Some of the agents stories about him are legendary. One agent met with him in a hotel Lobby. Says Slats stared at the contract for an hour, glancing at the agent occasionally to give him an unsatisfied glare...and didn't say a word the whole time.
