About the height/weight charts, keep in mind that they rarely accurate. Most players under 6' get an inch added to their height, under 5'10 pretty much always get 2 extra inches... Very hard to make an assessment based on those measurements.

He's actually below replacement level. He is god awful and provides nothing positive.

Yep....and he is big and soft. #7 on that line passes the eye test all the others are replaceable. And don’t tell me EROD is the answer.

Can’t figure #6 he has been bad. As good as he looked last year...in a very small sample size #73 is a level a level above #6. Playing with that train wreck #58 , #73 has been thrown in the fire and playing well

Marino has not been bad. He's definitely having a bit of an up and down season, but that's all part of the learning curve. By and large he's been good.

Malkin had pretty damn good stats. So maybe everyone should stop complaining about him then.

If there’s a deal with ANA it’s probably for Grant.

Eh he’s on the wrong side of the 50% mark in both expected goals and high danger chances. That’s not good.

One thing we know about this team is they are a much better team at home. The difference is night and day.

Jarry played okay. I can't pin any of the goals exclusively on him. The first was tipped, the second was a rebound, actually their third shot, and the last we all saw. He could have played each of them better, so we'll just take the win and move on.

I am getting tired of the constant third line bashing. What do we want from them?

Malkin needs to sit a game or two or maybe get dropped down to the third line.

McCann did a good job at C last year when he had good wingers to play with. He isnt good enough to carry a line but with Kap and Zuck I think he would surprise everyone.

Actually you were right haha. I was looking at his name but ended up looking at the person stats below his as I scrolled over. Either way my point was even though he brings very little he’s not making egregious turnovers and mistakes like lafferty, sceviour, or half the rest of the team. He’s the least of the problems on the 4th line IMO.

When Fleury got shipped to Vegas I predicted he would solidify his case for the HOF. Certainly feels like he has by now.
