Leaving Chicago and going to Carolina is a hugely different environment. Hopefully Carolina hasn't handcuffed themselves.

Corey Crawford is the perfect example of what playing in the Chicago system can do to a goaltender.

what is that example

He is an average goalie playing in an almost perfect system. As Chicago is coming down from their dynasty, his numbers have gotten progressively worse each of the last 4 years.

They are still good numbers, but are they a result of his play or the system he plays in?

so who is an example of a goalie whose numbers do not fluctuate, regardless of system? Ryan Miller? would you say side by side, Miller is a superior goalie in terms of individual skills?

I'm saying that if you take Crawford and plunk him down on a system like Carolina, his numbers would be a reflection of that teams play. He's not the type of goaltender that makes a team better. He is a product of the system he plays in.

ha that's a pretty good example. Granted, best goalie of all time though.

I think it does without saying that the elite few goalies will have less variance in performance between systems though

Lee wroteCOLONI'm fine with Nick keeping Ship if that's the general consensus but then what is the point of having rules that we pick and choose when to follow? What happens next time if it's a less liked member of the league? Will the CBA be appended to state this as a new rule? What is to keep someone near the roster limit from "forgetting" someone from their list, only to claim them later?

I have to agree unfortunately. I feel bad for Nick making that mistake but we can't just choose to ignore rules when they're convenient.

Im fine also as long as if i or any other GM make this mistake, the same forgiveness is applied. It would suck to lose a player from a simple human book-keeping error.

I'm with the general sentiment that Ship should remain with Nick, but again if we base the decision on Nick being one of the 'good guys' versus the 'dishonest ones' then it seems like we're starting a slippery slope. We do have written rules in the CBA for this reason, and if each time someone breaks a rule we bend to accomodate them then, it seems to me that we're really encouraging people to be more lax with knowing the rules and being compliant (i.e. if I break a rule I would assume the league is going to be lenient with me as well).

Next time i will purposely do this to see what ruling they will hand me.
Will not b surprised they will enforce it on me anyway.. seeing as they got no problem fining me a fucking 1st round pick as a first time offender for gp missed + and the ridiculous rule for it was NEW and re-written for it to apply for THIS YEAR ONLY..and apparently after this year, another NEW rule will be written so that the gms dont suffer like i did for this ONE year of rule application lolol

Alexander Steen had been playing through a broken foot suffered in Game 1 of the opening round versus Minnesota, according to Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Darling will be fine. Carolina is a good team with horrible goaltending.

John Tavares underwent surgery on his right hand a week after the regular season completed.
He is scheduled to have his cast removed next week.

10m and a hand that will never work properly again. Uh oh.
