Might be worth checking deployment, and if he'd be a reasonable add for the third pair.

Didn't exactly play with the best partner, still had almost 55% Dzone starts, blocks a poop ton of shots.

They're in protect mode now helping out people left and right and when they asked for help from those people they dissappear its sad .. so they're doing things their own way now

So nothing with Jason actually changed. They simply changed their minds because of all of the awful people they hired. Correct?

Zone deployment the past 2 seasons, including TOI, compared to 3 and 4 years ago, for Tanev:

19-20 - EV TOI/GP 15.66 11.99% OZ starts compared to 12.13% DZ starts
18-19 - EV TOI/GP 16.39 10.18% OZ starts compared to 15.96% DZ starts
17-18 - EV TOI/GP 16.18 11.87% OZ starts compared to 14.60% DZ starts
16-17 - EV TOI/GP 16.72 9.23% OZ starts compared to 13.52% DZ starts

It looks like they attempted to even out his minutes while dropping his minutes played a bit because they knew his defensive prowess was sliding?

His shorthanded TOI/GP has steadily risen the past 4 seasons as well:

2.86 -> 3.06 -> 3.28 -> 3.38

He played 67% of his time this past season with Quinn Hughes at even strength, and a mish mash of other players for the remaining 33% of the time.

He did, for just under 12% of the time. He also played with Edler for 10% of the time and whatever an Oscar Fantenberg is for 7% of the time.

It was Hughes the majority of the time.

Hopefully this horrible link works:

Very solid Michael. Everything you propose makes sense. I could live with this realistic line-up. You should be the GM!

“This year, those guys are Palat, Johnson, Gourde, and Killorn. There is zero chance they trade Cirelli. Trust me.”
Of those four players, 3 have full no trade clauses. The 4th, Killorn, has a partial ntc. There will be a “sexy” player available.

It will be interesting to see what they do, cause Sergachev alone could take up there available Cap space. They could be in a pickle if all 4 say no to moving.

I dont think so. The Blackhawks logo isn't cartoonishly racist like the Cleveland Indians logo

Not just Buffalo, Killorn is the only one without a full trade clause, but he can still nix a trade to 16 teams. Why leave a cup contender and Florida if you don't have to.

Nice write up on Portillo on the Sabres homepage. Kid is huge. You never know but the kid looks like he has a bright future.

Do some searches on it. The family of who that logo is based on, wants it gone. I think if the logo wasnt referencing someone specific, it would stay. However, since it is based on a historical figure, it will be changed in due time.

Possibly. I actually think it's the opposite. Because it is based on a specific person, it's almost like a bust in a museum. I think there's enough historical context and subtlety in the design. The skin tone is natural (not beet red) and the features aren't exaggerated.

I'm of the opinion personally that Redskins name is racist and chief Wahoo is VERY racist. I dont see this as racist personally. I think the Notre Dame Fighting Irish logo is way more offensive

This country is turning into a bunch of pansies, certain things need to change. But names of sports teams, and such, ridiculous. Pretty soon I won't be able to say Little Bro to my younger brother. Things need to change, but getting a little out of hand with other things.

I guess the problem i see, is the family doesnt want their relative as a logo. To be honest, not sure how they legally are allowed to use it, if the family doesnt want them to
