team make-up is analytics based. Lou was just at Toronto which also used it heavily. I'd think whoever is hired is analytics-friendly. Sheldon Keefe is big in the use of analytics.

russia's sports express did a story on the top 50 russian players this year and sorokin is # 22

It's my understanding that, if you view the players using analytics, many of them suck, to put it crudely. So I guess I'm a little surprised....

Nope. But the goaltending sure sucked. Prob coaching choice and plans too.

JS, it's another tool to be used however team systems and play certainly skew individual analytic stats.
I don't believe for a moment teams are built purely on analytics. NFW.

Our 12 overall plus one of our 2nds for Grubauer and Washington's 31st. Fair, very fair, or not fair?

Not terrible, but 12 for Grubauer and 31 seems completely reasonable. No reason we need to throw in an additional pick.

I worry we might have to overpay a little given the rumors of Carolina souring on Darling. If we can avoid losing the other pick, I'm all for it

Why not Todd Reirden or Barry Trotz? No way Washington keeps both.

I think giving up the 12th overall for a goaltender with a career high of 35gp in a season is overpaying enough.

Here's a good list of what goaltenders in similar (everyone please note the word "similar") situations were traded for:

edit: Just to tack on to this....I think Cam Talbot's trade is probably the closest indicator of where Grubauer's starting price would be. There's some very obvious competition for Grubauer (CAR) and probably some less obvious teams that may get in the mix (maybe CGY?), so obviously competition is going to breed a higher asking price. Isles should be trying to use both their 2nd's and maybe someone like Ho Sang or Nelson's RFA rights to entice the Caps to send Grubauer their way. I'm comfortable parting with #12 (by itself) if the Caps 31stOA pick came along with it.

12 does seem high. I like giving up one of the 2's and Nelson. I would also be fine giving up the 12 if the 31st was coming back.

No surprise. Andy Graziano also had Bertini let go.

I think Cronin was long overdue. Sorry for people losing their job but this is really needed.

Who Bertani or Loiselle? Both as far as I know where let go. But Staple is linked into Garth, oh no wait Lou who is tight lipped so.....
