This is Evolving-Hockey's xGAR over the past 3 seasons and the EV xG± impact in that time. No D in the NHL changes their team as much as Adam Fox. He has been the Rangers entire blueline for a half-decade.

BREAKING: Multiple sources indicate that Gavin McKenna will commit to Penn State University for 2025-26. One of the most electrifying prospects chooses the Nittany Lions. A game-changing get for PSU hockey. Read more:

Btw, this is unrelated to his contract. I'd go long term and give him a deal somewhere in the range that's expected because over the long run I think he'll be worth it. But I'm also expecting us to compete for a Cup immediately. And he's not a Cup caliber #1 /today/.

I'll keep an open mind on LeGreca and wait to see what he's like in the booth and how he interacts with the game but I really enjoyed what @BillSpaulding brought to the gig in both those respects and will miss him on the broadcast. Thanks Bill and best of luck on what's next!.

I feel like a lot of people think the blueline is in good hands with Luke Hughes serving as the #1 D on the roster. Ignoring his injury (which is a concern) he was barely a top 4 caliber Dman in terms of results last season. Skill/potential is a different, better, story.

The Pitt is an absolute masterpiece. This is the best work of film or television I've seen in years. An utter triumph of writing, direction, research, acting, cinematography, and everything else that goes into artistically capturing the essence of profound real-world stories.

I know a trade makes sense when both fanbases are telling me it sucks.

I hate trade posts because it always so specific, but bare with me. IN PRINCIPAL, something like this makes sense to me. NJD Receives.Bryan Rust.Erik Karlsson (with retention). PIT Receives.Dougie Hamilton.Futures (inc. ≥1 first or blue-chip).

It gets us out from under the Dougie $ one year sooner at a lower cost, lets us reallocate money to a much-needed Jack winger, and buys us a bridge to Nemec/Casey. PIT gets a better D (with experience w/ Graves), and a big futures package to jumpstart the build.

If the Devils trade Dougie and don't replace him with a comparable offensive D, they better hope they score first every game. Something they are famously good at.

The loss of Dougie, and failure to replace him, would severely limit our offensive ceiling, leaving us only one defenseman that could contribute to a comeback attempt. This is every Devils skater last year (20+ minutes) when we need a goal to tie the game at 5v5. Dougie is Red.

He is still a good PP QB (tho fits better with Jack). He's still got great offensive instincts. He still has an insane reach. He is still a minute muncher. I acknowledge that his $9M may be better spent elsewhere, but unless there's an IMMINENT plan, I don't pull this trigger.

If we don't have Dougie, our only truly reliable offensive D is Luke Hughes. And while I'm bullish on his future as a top pairing D in this league, but the fact remains that he has never had a season even close to what Dougie provides even in his current state.

I don't have a problem trading Dougie Hamilton if it's part of a larger plan that involves replacing him with cheap-but-comparable puck-moving D and using the balance to upgrade the forward corps. If that's not happening, it's a terrible idea. .
