Doesn't he get 15k or something just for showing up?
- AdamFrench

I know he gets a couple of free dinners.

Gets to wear his green jacket.

Probably steals a few boxes of Titleists from the driving range.

And he also completely tarnishes his reputation.

But you know, the winners' dinner is great and all...

You don't think being on a poop team hurts him....5v5 stat wise?

Look at Jake Gardiner when we had a poop team....

Look at Rielly last year being fed to the wolves on a young team.

Just wondering........................

- Garnie


you can adjust for that.
From @MannyElk (Corsica)

he's a -1.41% adjusted xG player over the last 2 seasons on buffalo. It's not a good sign when you can't even move the needle in the right direction on that catastrophe of a team


And even when Gardiner was on the poop Leafs his stats were very good

Ristolainen is very meh..for someone who has a decent reputation his D results are frightening

he gets like half is points from the PP..but gets killed at 5v5 ...it would be smart to move on from him

- senstroll



I would like him here, he needs to be on a good team. Being overused on a bad team, is like the Phaneuf experience here... Doesn't help playing with guys like Mike Kostka or Josh Georges.

- senstroll



You can't adjust for 1 guy being leaned on for every tough spot and 1 guy being used as just the opposite. IMO Gardiner's had maybe 10 games in his life ( last year at the end ) where he's used as a shutdown D, this year he plays with the Matthews line A LOT and he's a negative some how.

I wouldn't say Risto is great...but the stats are a little misleading IMO.

he always does two of these hits when on a new team.
that's it then for rest of his time on that team though.
i can't believe leafs managed to trade away that toxic contract and player

just sayin Garnie ..I also dont trust my own

I would at the very Least expect a "#1" dman to hold his own on a crap team and it show up in the stats. He doesnt

He gets a lot of points..50% on the PP .. you didnt suggest it but the Leafs only use 1 D on the PP, Rielly and Gardiner do fine..they dont need another

His reputation and what people think he is outweights his overall impact and Value in the game

I just popped my head into the Islanders' thread.

Wow, not a lot of optimism in there.
