People thought 6.9 for Willy was millions overpaid

Dubey signed EVERYONE. He did the impossible
- RogerRoeper

And he added Tavares, 2 top-4 D, and fired Limpcock. Best GM ever.

Who needs a 1st round pick when you can just draft a 1st round caliber player with a 2nd?

Georgiev for a 3rd

Matthews replaced at the All-Star game by Tkachuk.

Talk about a downgrade.

I'm sorry I was told that Tkachuk was better than Svechnikov?

what that's it? hang on i'll give you back your own 2nd for him

Not sure he'll get that. He hasn't established himself long enough. He did not get great offers last summer,

Lerher has been a top 3 goalie the past 2 years. And he left a great defensive system and went to a much worse one and still is playing great.

oh

is roger our version of Spatso for the Sens?
- senstroll

No, That is Santo.

In fact, I believe they are the same person; or at least they might as well be.

- BINGO!

looks like Fox' gonna be well worth that pair of 2nd's

I'm sorry I was told that Tkachuk was better than Svechnikov?
- BINGO!

If you mean Matthew, then I guess they are different players but I think it is a tough call between the two.

No, Brady.

There were folks in Raleigh advocating drafting Tkachuk instead.

Eh.... we'll see.

Svech is in the middle of one of the most productive seasons by a teenager in the last 20 years

Good for you.

meh.

1) gibson is the best goalie because of his fenwick save %? because he has ton of defenders who can't get the puck out of the zone but do a good job of getting in shooting lanes he is ranked the best?

2) the GSAX was interesting. the nhl was falling into a very predicatable league. it has opened up in the last couple of years. prior stats aren't as relevant anymore. alll hd chance are not created equal .... and the variance between teams is growing. but keep thinking that they are.

at a minimum, despite a slump, freddy is good value as a $5m keeper. the +10m guys need to make sure that +4 go into the back of the other team's net every night.

I HATE the way HD scoring chances are measured. I get wanting to work on averages, but basing them almost exclusively on location is a joke when there are a billion variables.

Two shots from the exact same place from the exact same player on the exact same goalie do not necessarily have the same odds of going in.

It is not a perfect science but it separates the weak attempts.

SV% on its own is an even worse stat to look at.

hd chance against
isles 475
Leafs 436

shots against
isles 1270
leafs 1260


goals against
isles 2.65
leafs 3.29

isles and leafs have allowed about the same number of shots on net. isles have allowed 39 more hd chance against; almost 10% more.

if hd chances are a good stat, we should trade andersen/hutch for varlarmov/mzarek. isles GA should go up to ~3.5 and leafs should go down to ~2.5 because the isles allow more hd chances, right?
