This is not true....we have 4 legit top 4 guys....at least that’s what I read around here.

I actually think Provorov, Sanheim and Myers are really good defensemen. Guess I’m alone on this.

It’s amazing how we keep losing when everyone we draft is a gem in the making

I’m not gonna lie to ya...I’m not a big fan of of the analytics world. I’m more of the eye test guy. It’s not hard to pick out mistakes when you watch a replay. Hockey is and always will be a game of mistakes. Most systems are designed to create chances and force mistakes. The team that does the best job at those two things while taking the most advantage mostly wins.
I’m not discounting the analytics world, because in a lot of cases it serves a purpose. In a league so tight between winning and losing every little advantage helps.

I understand and am not surprised, based on little things you have said here and there. I don;t follow much analytics myself largely because I can't really be bothered.

But I don't think the two are competitors (eyes, numbers I mean). They are complementary. The human eye and brain is great at looking at individual instances. Its not so great in remembering lots of them, finding out patterns from them and so on. Similarly, numbers are summaries and lack detail. Human impressions can correct for that.

Speaking of which, btw:
Ghost has by far the worst relative Fenwick amongst our defencemen (ignoring blocked shots, his presence means we give up much more shots than make them relative to the average guy on the team -aka his presence drags the team down by the most in that regard).

Are already or can be? I agree with the latter.

But I just don;t see the evidence they are so good right now. They are collectively about average. On a good team they would compete for spots 4-6.

Sanhiem has been good at best. Myers is still all potential.

Both are trash right now fwiw.

Gus is really bad. For every player you guys pick on, your anger should be focused on Gus. He brings next to nothing. I’d waive him and I don’t think that would be an over dramatic move.

I was making a joke. Too many people here blame Niskanen leaving as this team’s defensive problems. Relax dude. Have a beer and enjoy the comedy.

The flyers let in 16 goals and counting without GHOST 👻 I guess he is not the problem either.
