Woof I hope Zetterlund turns it around. I’m willing to chalk up the poor showing to struggling on a new team. Next year there should be no excuse.

Megna and Ferraro XGA is telling. It’s a shame Jakey couldn’t get mins on Seattle. I’d have him back in a heartbeat. He’d be top pair if Karlsson’s gone next year

A little surprising to see Labanc amongst the leaders there.
The one true superstar on our Team is now with the Devils. 🙁 Likely to be followed by our only defensive superstar. 🙁
We are in for a world of pain for a few years. Best case scenario… we load up on prospects and look amazing like the Ducks did last year… oh wait.

Vlassic out here, about to bust out his fucking Habs robe and pipe. “Bitches want me bought out”.
To be honest, though, this is pretty telling for Ferraro. And also I kind of which we had Knyzhov and Thrun on this even if a low sample size. It’s really making me re-think the LD depth chart next season.
Not even touching the EK65 scenario, I suspect we run –
**Thrun – EK65 RD Replacement** (trade or using cap space)
**Vlassic – FA Signing** (regardless of EK move, we can allocate ~$3,5M)
**Kynzhov – Benning**
Spares: Ferraro / MacDonald

Forward is also interesting as we don’t have the NHL numbers on guys like Peterson or Eklund who I expect we slot in. But holy shit was Zetterlund a bust, and Gregor not looking hot on goals against. Makes me re-think the plan.
Ultimately I still think we are going with what we are somewhat stuck with –
**Eklund – Hertl – Peterson** (1a/1b probably more than #1 line)
**FA (~$4.25M) – Couture – Barabanov** (this may end up our 1a, Couture and Barbie had some of the better stats of those remaining).
**Kunin – Sturm – Labanc** (if he isn’t traded – but at this point it seems despite his shit penalties he should be started on the 3rd line)
**Bourdelau – Lorentz – Gregor / Gads**
Zetterlund I’d almost think may be in 2-way contract territory. Maybe ok to call up for injuries to the bottom 6, but probably shouldn’t even be starting on the NHL roster if he’s waiver eligible. And frankly I almost wonder if Kaut or Svech (Svech is a bit older) would be seen as a better option to hang onto.

Not surprised whatsoever by Zetterlund and Lindblom’s numbers. Same with Benning, although his are a *little* better.
Ferraro really did have a catastrophic year, but when your d partner goes from Burns to basically anyone else is it really that surprising? I’ll be looking for him to rebound next year. I don’t think he’s done like many of y’all in here.
I’m surprised lorentz has numbers that bad. He seemed like someone who was grinding it out almost all the time. Maybe he can take a step forward.

These numbers help confirm Mike Grier has gotten robbed blind in every trade he has done.
