Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils: Adam Henrique Rode The Percentages To 30-Goal Season

Thanks for putting me down on a Friday...

Also, on a sidenote, who here misses the Kariya / Selanne days? And which players are this NHL's tag team duo?

@the only other comment
It has to be Kane-Toews or Seguin-Benn

Are we talking guys that play on the same line or just the same team?

Not sure if Kane-Toews player together all that much. That's like saying Crosby-Malkin, who really don't play together all that often

Crosby-Kunitz would definitely have to have been in the convo from 2011-2014. But sigh not anymore

Chances are pretty good. Hall is a way underrated passer.
People think of him as more of a goal scorer, but he's not.
A brilliant possession driver and then an extremely slick passer

Such a great player.
He'll be missed in edm. Here's hopin larsson and klefbom can be that quality top pairing I think they will be

Hall is a shooter man. That doesn't mean he can't set others up as well.

Same line... I remember watching them play and it was some of the most exciting hockey I've seen.

It's the other way around kinda

It's one of the reasons he's never scored 30. (Which of course he can and will at some point)

Of course he's a focal point on offence and certainly doesn't shy away from shooting, but he's far less of a pure shooter/sniper than his rep suggests and people assume I think.
He actually bullies his way to tough areas to score many of his goals around the net, rather than a guy like eberle who is that definition of a handsy shooter from around the hashmarks and beyond

I'm not trying to pigeonhole him at all. Just saying I think he looks pass and is a setup guy far more than people believe

He is 30th in the NHL over the last 3 seasons for all players with 500+ mins toi in shot attempts per 60. He is a shooter.

Also 39th in unblocked shot attempts per 60

And 25th in shots on goal per 60.

Ovechkin-Backstrom aren't together anymore either right?

And the Sedins are past their prime.

Since we're gonna make definitive statements as fact ..

I've watched the guy play an exponential amount more than you have.
He's a better passer than he is a shooter. FACT.

5v5,
He's in the top 2% (98th percentile) in the league in primary assists over the last 4 seasons.
Barely in the top 80th percentile in goals.
1.68 primaries per 60 mins good for 3rd in the entire league.
.82 goals per 60, good for 58th.

By those numbers, and considering he's never scored more than 30, are you implying he's a mediocre shooter?

You're so desperate to corner him into this one thing. But he's not that. He's a far more complete player than you think.
He shoots A ton and is a focal point as I said. But he is NOT a pure shooter or sniper. By any means .

He takes a lot of shots therefore he is a shooter. His career average sh% is 10.6% which is solid but nothing phenomenal. Nobody said he isn't also a good setup guy.

How did I let myself get dragged into a debate about a guy I've watched countless times for over half a decade with someone who at best reads abit and watches the odd hnic ?

You sure do know your stuff

Actually I don't watch hockey at all other than the 3 lightning games I go to every season.
