Randall Flagg Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Reinhart only takes faceoffs when Jack gets kicked out of the dot. I'm not sure I've ever seen him put out there for a faceoff, unless Jack has rib injuries, so they've probably done it recently, which makes it a bad time for this comment even if it is correct in spirit Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 When all is said and done we got Kahun for a 5th. I’d make that trade every day of the week. 1 Quote

I wouldn't be surprised. The dude is smart and knows that his board battle win percentage is better than his faceoff win percentage lol Quote

Pretty sure whatever is the reason for that (ribs?) is why he had the maintenance day last week. Quote

But he will definitely play wing to start here. Couple other interesting tidbits: Kahun played a couple years with Ralph's son in Europe; and Don Granato worked with him extensively during his rookie year in Chicago. This is a guy they know well.

Mustache of God Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 Rodriguez - Marlue is not a pairing I'd ever thought I'd see. Quote

Doohicksie Posted February 25, 2020 Report Posted February 25, 2020 I'm sure the Pens thought we were wasting Sheary's talent by not playing him with Jack. Quote

He leads the team at 50.7%, Larsson is next at 47.9% followed by Eichel at 47%.... that's a significant dropoff. Reinhart at 37.8% on 80 faceoff attempts. Not to pick on him, but as a guy who played center in junior, you'd expect better. He's nowhere close to 50%, a big reason they can't put him out at center. For his career he's at 36.5% on over 700 attempts. No you wouldn’t. Face offs % at the NHL level is almost directly related to age and experience in the NHL. 1 Quote

He didn't play in the Finals and he wasn't there long enough to qualify from the regular season. They might have requested an "Eddie Olczyk" waiver for him, but he didn't earn it officially. Quote

Glad that when they were awarded the Cup they got him taken care of as well. They didn't have to do that. Happier for him than that Benoit Hogue is there. Quote
SwampD Posted February 26, 2020 Report Posted February 26, 2020 In conjunction with the other trade, I feel like this made us a better team. Quote
