Chicago and Columbus are working in a trade involving Brandon Saad. More to come.



Ryan Murray maybe? Or Rychel + something good?

Somehow it's probably Benning's fault.

Schneider was traded when he was 27, Lack was traded when he was 27, Luongo was traded for when he was 27....basically if you're 27 and you're a goaltender for the Canucks - you're (frank)ed!!

I think the best part about this time of year is that it isn't the vets that are getting traded as rentals... It's players in their prime. These trades can have a much more dramatic effect on your team.

Exactly. The players/prospects/picks traded at this time of year seem to be real impact pieces for teams moving forward. The last few TDL days have been about complementary/rental/depth pieces.

Much more exciting these days. TDL seems almost anticlimactic in comparison.

That's probably regular save percentage. But my main point was that there's reason to believe that Lack is a goalie who's only as good as his team's defense is. He does get exposed when teams get high quality chances so maybe that hurt his value. Jones and Talbot thrived when facing high quality shots so perhaps GM's viewed them as having more natural talent and upside than Lack.

I'm only speculating of course.
- Nucker101

Wait, what? So now it's our defence that made Lack look good? This team man, this fcking team...

He was just very good at making saves on low quality shots and struggled with scoring chances. Why that is, I don't know. But it's interesting nonetheless.

if you do that too often, you'll go blind.... and get hairy palms.

That's an old wives tale. I do it all the time and... Wait, what are we talking about?

Where was Miller on those stats? Also wonder if can break down further to see if teams give up more higher quality scoring chances with different goalies. Could you
Put a number to the belief that the team plays better with certain goalies behind them.

Speculation that Colorado may have signed Saad to an offer sheet tomorrow.
