I'd imagine Arizona would rather keep Strome and pick 4th or so (someone like Tkachuk it Puljujarvi)

what if you just use the current standings and they are picking 9th

Oh yeah. Maybe then. They just seem to be spiralling towards the bottom and should be bottom 3 in a few weeks

/DoubleDown's argument.
- Atomic Wedgie

actually this would be my argument. it is a group of thoroughly mediocre hockey players though i have to admit.

no but the stats we see are generally score adjusted
- DoubleDown

i cant tell you how infuriating it was when PAP shot the puck last night from like 60 feet and scored just to pad his damn corsi stats.

the correlation between shot attempts and actual time with the puck is very close.
- senstroll

Really?

Where was this measured, how big was the sample size to confirm this correlation.

If it WAS measured, accurately, how come we are using the proxy (shots) instead of the actual stat (possession).

I can't tell you how frustrating it is when people take a sample like that, which is not a normal occurence and use it in an arguement.

Geeze, Senstroll, you did the same thing last week picking out some sequence of events where Kadri gt a 3rd assist.

Look at 2007-08, Jason blake 332 shots 15 goals 4.5%sh
the year before with NYI 302 shots 40 goals 13.1%

Jason blake is the go to anti corsi argument.

Lots of them. It is like a long range weather forecast.. ( Corsi )

What if.

What if he does sign in Toronto.

Imagine the stuff you'll be mopping up then? Leaf fans will go nuts.


Semin anyone?
- Fakepartofme

Clarkson 2.0 Leaf luck

He signs for 100,000,000 and scores 15 in his 1st year

To Arizona for a 2nd rounder.
He should have a nice rest of his NHL career there.
- MaximusAurelius

How long is Mike Smith signed for, I'd give him a shot in TO

what if you just use the current standings and they are picking 9th
- senstroll

I think I would rather hold on to Matthews, although it would be tempting to have potentially 2 high-end prospects.

Any idea who is projected to be available around number 9?

The better Nylander.

Who are the Leafs moving on D to get Corrado some playing time? Hunwick?
- poohcrumbs

Babs wont do that.
He loves Hunwick and doesnt seem to be a fan of Corrado.

I can't believe we traded David Clarkson, OR hired Mike Babcock.

I remember quite a few rants over the past couple years. It's hard to keep them apart.

I keep Matthews 100% ..he kinda has a face you have to grow to love..but I am willing to give it a shot

Based on a "like"?
Do we even know if the Leafs want stammer.
At the end of the day money talks.....once the lightning pony up the cash.....he'll sign

Those things never occured!

The better Nylander.
- walshyleafsfan

It would be interesting.

One thing that would make me hesitate would be fear of making a mistake. They *might* trade away the next "best player in the league". It would look horrible on an organization that already has a long and rich history of stupidity.

Maybe it is just better to stay the course(-i)

- senstroll

yeah, gotta agree.

The more I think about it the more I wonder what the offers were for Edmonton's first over-all's and whether or not they were motivated by fear of making a mistake?

When was the last time a high-end first overall pick was traded?
