...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.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      A team should always be putting at least one or two draft picks in at tackle and guard each season. Those guys just don't last nearly long enough and those that do get very, very expensive. In our situation, we need a little more time to see what the Icky injury works itself out to. Njiman performed really well out there and if this injury lingers into the next season, then he might do well enough there to hold the line for the team. Or we could draft early if there is a stud LOT in the draft when our spot comes along.  Honestly, we may be looking at replacing both LT and RT this season at this point. Moton is getting long in the tooth and while he deserves a shot to go for a playoff run with this team, I don't know whether we will really see him come back next season yet. It's still so darned early in all of this to say.

      It seems the Panthers have earned their respect back

      Because we had a ton of things go our way this year and made the playoffs with a -70 point differential.  This year was the outlier.  Regression to the mean is unavoidable.  So the team will have to significantly improve to beat 8 wins next year.

      One thing I noticed in this game (and I say this as the biggest of Bryce Young haters) is that Bryce did do a solid job of throwing into voids in this game, and leading receivers on crossers.  There were a few times where I was thinking "where the hell is he throwing it" only for a receiver to appear out of nowhere and catch it in stride.  Mike McDaniel might be a guy that can squeeze a little bit of production out of the otherwise ghastly Bryce Young. His offenses heavily feature that style of passing game.  I've heard Idzik is drawing interest from other teams.  If so, bringing McDaniel in at OC would be a stellar move.  I know it'll never happen, but fun to think about.
