...that we may officially have a Freddie problem?

It's a long season, to be sure but he is currently overwhelmingly the worst goalie statistically on the roster and in the midst of the worst statistical season of his NHL career in traditional stats, advanced stats and metrics. 

So, what is the solution? Bench him for Kochetkov? Start looking at trade options?

His lateral movement is very very slow this year.... get him moving side to side and he cant get back in time to cover.

It’s now or never for Koochie. Freddie is flirting with a .7s save %.  Father times gets all athletes.

I know. It's not just the stats, it's the eye test too.

He dropped off some last year but I think the end is nigh.

Yeah, at worst, you find out that you need to go shopping before the trade deadline.

He should get less starts

I am perplexed he hasn't had that already.

This is Rod's true weakness as a coach. He really has a tough time managing goaltenders well. I know he gets poo for other things(largely unfairly, IMO) but he really is bad at this.

Classic weakness, the Fox,Rivera Rod too loyal to aging stars....

I'm not sure who would be available thats actually an upgrade over Kooch/Bussi.

 

And for once we are in complete agreement, its not just the #s its the eye test, his lateral movement and reactions seem to be appreciably slower.....  I know we still don't have Slavin but at this point Kochetkov should be getting the majority of the starts hes hot right now and wise choice is ride him while he is.

I think Kochetkov is hurt at the moment. That's anothet concern. He hasn't been able to stay healthy.

I've been saying this for a couple weeks now. Even if you're not a stat geek, you can watch the games and see he's not performing close to what we've seen over the years. 

Yes, Kochetkov is hurt, but he won't be forever and I think it's time to move on and call Kochetkov and Bussi your 1 and 2. 

With $11M in cap space, the Canes have an opportunity.

I mean, do you try and move him to another team before the trade deadline? I don't see how you can't if that is an option.

Preds are looking to move Marchessault & Stamkos.

Canucks are looking to unload a handful: Boesser, Elias Pettersson, Jake DeBrusk, Conor Garland.

I, for one, wouldn't turn my nose up at Marchessault, Boehner or Garland. Even DeBrusk.

      Helllllllllllllll no on Tyreek, not even on a vet minimum and if he was playing at his peak abilities. We have way too young of a WR room to bring that head case into the locker room, there is just no way I want him around any of our WRs.  The things that make him great aren't things that can be taught, they're his natural born athletic gifts, so there isn't anything useful he can teach our guys and would just be a bad influence on them. Same goes for Stefon Diggs. Allen I'd love, he'd be a great mentor for T-Mac and Coker, but I doubt he plays anywhere other than with the Chargers or a legit true SB contender this year (and only small odds on the latter there, likely Chargers or nothing I'd guess).

      On the new site if you don't have access to your old email I have the solution.    You will be give a chance to recover your account.   The site will ask you for your username and your old email.    If those entries match what is in the huddle database, you will be given the opportunity to input a new email address to reset your password with. You can then login and change your profile however you want.  If those entries don't match, it will be ignored.  This seems like a very simple solution. Once everyone is happy and migrated over we will remove the tool.
