Hot Links: Friday, July 2

Morning, folks!

Hope you had a good day off. I spent a fair chunk of mine trying to figure out why in the copper and blue fuck the Edmonton Oilers have any interest in bringing Duncan Keith into the mix.

I couldn’t.

I simply cannot understand it.

I am so tired of trying to wrap my head around just the most inexplicable shit. Honestly. Duncan Keith has been a 1st percentile WAR player over the past three seasons. That means 99% of NHL players — yes, including all the shit ones — have been more valuable than Duncan Keith in the last three years. NINETY-NINE PERCENT. That means a guy like Devin shore, a ~10th percentile player, is comfortably a better bet.

Can you imagine how bad someone has to be today to be a comfortably worse bet than Devin Shore?!

Please. Ken. Don’t.
