Panarin / Guentzel - Too good to let go?

[BreadManPanarin]

Rizzee: I didn't realize this, but after a quick search here are the active regular season SV % leaders:

Tuukka Rask: .923
Cory Schneider: .922
Braden Holtby: .922
Carey Price: .920
Sergei Bobrovsky: .920

Cam Talbot's career save% is .922, good for a tie for 2nd in league, but he has only played 186 games and the list requires at least 200 games played to qualify. So maybe we can hope for more than a very good but not superb GAA from Talbot long-term? We'll see.

Much of that was as a back-up against not always top notch competition. It is difficult to have stellar GAA and SV% when playing for high-powered offensive teams since although he'll still get his share of shutouts and 1 goal games, he's somewhat more likely to get saddled with 6-5 and 5-4 wins, which bruise his SV% and GAA.

I like what you did here, sticking to your guns. The other guy was probably shooting for the moon trying to get Panarin and Guentzel and Giroux from you while giving up Pavelski and Talbot and Domi in return.

The deal you ended up making was much more equitable. Even if Guentzel continues to be studly into the future I still think it's the right deal.

Thanks Karm!

The original was a fair offer, the simplified deal you ended up with is much better though. I like it.

Agreed, like the deal you pulled off much more than the original you proposed. Well done!
