Should put Jost on the Wing and Krebs at C.

- Buff36


Jost at C makes sense as he doesn't stop skating. Kid has a motor. Hopefully it fixes that lines incompetence.

The data doesn't always tell the whole story.
- The_Inkwell


That’s my point
Analytics just don’t tell the complete picture

Of course. I find that most who believe in Adv Analytics realize that it is a part of the picture along with the eye test.

There are more, IMO, who deny AA as a useful tool by focusing on the various limitations ...thereby throwing any interest out the window completely.

- IonSabres


It seems to me that those who use Analytics to back up their points rarely (if ever) allude in any way to those stats not being the end all be all
No I’m on here ever makes an analytical argument & says “analytics are only part of the equation”
At least not that I’ve seen

Alex Tuch has reached 75 games played with Buffalo. That's a reasonable number to call a season for a fella who has never broken 78 games in one season.

75 gp, 24 goals, 38 assists, 62 points, +1, 18:30 average toi/game

Not bad. I'll take it. +1 on this team is impressive, though it speaks to goals scored more than Tuch's lock down D.

Some say the best Defense is a good offense..

Cozens is clearly the next captain?

You don't think it's Dahlin?

- kingcong39


Adams love loves love cozens.


But I think Dahlin is the future captain after the fake temporary captain Okposo

Dahlin does the media stuff for the team already and other captaincy duties

they were for ristolainen though

- TheSabresTaco


Well, sure
But Risto went from one bad situation to another
I bet his analytics look a whole lot different if we’d have traded him to Tampa or Boston, etc etc

You know it seems that the word moron is a compliment to you. Who else presumes to tell other people what they think. Who else is too stupid to understand the use of and need for physicality in the game of hockey today and not just in the past, even if it is used differently today. Only a moron who thinks he knows hockey but knows nothing. I will avoid any comments you make in the future. A lot of good commentary here. Don't need to polute it with stupidity.

Excited to see Jiri Kulich get some reps at center. The move seems partially motivated by ROC current need, but it’s also part of his natural progression. I’ve always felt it’s the position he’s best suited to play in the NHL.

We have a lot of skill coming up but no size to cover the "bottom 6". If Kulich is 6foot + it helps but I've seen him listed under 6 on some sites. Hopefully he is not done growing in height.

Rosen Ostlund and Savoie are all smaller guys. Same with Biro Kisakov, Kozak and Weis

Be nice if Bloom or Nadeau turn into NHL players.

Definitely drafted out of the same mold. We'll see if it's a problem.

Cancel culture is a real thing. Unless you commit armed robbery in New York of course.
