are you bipolar ?

You clearly did in your blog. Here is what you wrote.

"Luke Schenn was a 44.5% possession player last year and he probably shouldn't be on an NHL team looking to make the playoffs.

In limited minutes, Connauton had the same CF%. "


I don't think that about Corsi, and you know that.

Well Schenn has been a negative Rel Corsi guy his entire career, put up 8 points in 78 games last season, and is almost 28. He is replacement level at best currently and the aging curve isn't doing him any help.

Superficial analysis. Rel Corsi is an awful stat. I agree though at 28, Schenn is the player he is.

Curious what makes Rel Corsi bad?

He has been bad in this regard on multiple teams/systems.

Let's take teammates who play with different linemates, against different opposition, in different roles deployed in varying situations and compare them. 3rd pair defensive defenseman aren't supposed to match better players playing with better teammates in more favorable situations at times.

he's not wrong. it's all known flaws in corsi rel.

in his current version, the guy doing HERO charts dropped corsi rel from his charts because of the known flaws.

Top pairing is deadly.

Might be irrelevant, but Hammer was at his best with a fellow Swede that could skate (Oduya...remains to be seen if he can still skate. Fingers crossed)

OEL is on another level, so I'm interested how this turns out. Either way, rooting for #4. Is 4 taken?

I'm thrilled to see a blog on the D and not see Rundblad mentioned even once, has that statistical wet dream come to an end?

This is a pretty solid D on paper. Hopefully it looks that way on the ice too. I have a feeling the Yotes will live or die on the goaltending being unproven though.

Hey James, what are your thoughts on DeAngelo?

With some maturity and the right opportunity he could be a Josi lite.
