How the hell is a guy that is at .72 PPG over the past two years a third liner??

Kane is at .66 in that time span

Come on man

He plays on Winnipeg’s 3rd line

Sure, his ppg are up this season,
but what good team is he a 2C on?

And stop defining Kane by ppg

At least use Kane’s goals per game

I think he brings close to that for far less money. I know hes bringing pretty much the same production especially at 5v5.

Defensive metrics are harder pin down. I haven't seen much out there (even by eye test) that actually confirms ROR is some defensive demi-god.

I'd be very interested in seeing how often a player who is producing at a strong rate with lesser minutes continues to produce at the same rate with more minutes because it sure seems like an almost auto default for the stat devotees that those players will always do that if given the added ice time.

Eh, let’s try.

Hey Homie,

Not to change the topic, but what say you about Joshua Jackson from Iowa? Not that that is the biggest position of need, but he reminds me of Sidney Jones. I’m thinking my dream scenario for Bills would be stay put and get Jackson with Roq Smith or Payne. They stay put and guaranteed to get at least one difference maker on defense on paper.

- Hatboro_Swords

I think he goes in the 8-12 range in the draft and we have no chance to get him
first cb off the board
I like him

It's a joke. McCabe getting slashed coming out of the box on a breakaway against edmonton is a penalty shot from '06-'10

When you say "sell high" do you mean that the player is playing well and he is at a high point of value?

And maybe more gms and teams would want him because he's playing better?

Some "scouts" may see his "hot " play? Maybe even in person?

This is bordering on hilarious now.

This is my entire point. He’s not given the opportunity.

And he’s been on their 1st line at times

vancouver fan base is well known in canada to be the "least canadian".


Its a fickle fan base, its why a full rebuild was never really realistic, ownership couldnt go through with it

Hell no
26pts last year in 80games on a good team
Still on the Sharks & on pace for just over 30pts this year

I’d rather give Baptiste (etc) a shot

yet they've managed to finish in the basement during 3 out of 4 years under Benning anyway while trading away picks and handing out 36M to Eriksson.

Absolutely, but you were using /60 just as much as Fitz was using points. And both of those are wrong, and right. The truth is in the middle. Otherwise you get "Chimera is Eichel except salary and ice time."
- Wetbandit1


I wasn’t just using points
He was the one talking strictly offensive

But yeah...
i was trying to say that pts/60 is a dumb stat
