i really would love to go out with you but I'm sorry, in my estimation it would potentially give me a reduction in my expected win probability

Something that’s been pretty eye-opening since the Kucherov news broke is seeing how many national reporters are pulling from the local reporters here in Tampa and claiming it as their own. Can we stop that please? 🤍

Leafs ranked by GF/60 on the power play this season: 1. Gavin McKenna: 15.4 2. Kirill Marchenko: 14.7 3. William Nylander: 14.5 4. Darren Radish: 14.0 5. Auston Matthews: 14.0 6. John Tavares: 9.9 7. Jack Roslovic: 7.1 8. Nick Paul: 4.9 9. Easton Cowan: 3.6 10. Morgan Rielly: 3.4 Gavin's being nice. The Leafs' power play, to the eye and to the numbers, is better with him out there.
McKenna: "I'm 18. There's a lot of guys in this team who've been in this league for a long time & know how to play PP. When you see a guy like John come on & take your spot, you're not too butthurt about it ... even being on a 2nd power play in the NHL, that feels pretty good"

False. Nikita loves his teammates and Tampa, where he won two Stanley Cups and three of his children were born. He has a great relationship with Jon Cooper and wished he could have stayed, but negotiations with management did not work out and he will be moving on. The rest is garbage from journalists in Russia paid for clicks…
Kucherov: The source who spoke to RG.org said Kucherov's view of the Lightning has shifted as well. “He understands that Tampa has already squeezed everything out of itself and you can’t win there,” the source said. “The team is average on its own.” 11/2 #GoBolts #NHL

I asked Nikita Kucherov if there was anything in particular that led to him requesting a trade on Friday “It was never about the money for me. It was more about poor communication and respect. Over the last four months, we have had two conversations.” #GoBolts
