2019/20 Roster Thread XXIX

Who works out legs?

It's curls for the girls

I didnt want to go straight to "And doesnt eat 100 glass bottles for breakfast every day"

Man, I used to know all about R2 and other statistical stuff. But 20 years later I've forgotten almost all of it.

I do remember this always being a problem.

Heteroscedasticity: Simple Definition and Examples - Statistics How To

Haha, I'm the same. I forget so much. And even though I have my black belt (unfortunately not the cool kind) in Lean 6 Sigma - which is advanced statistical analysis of variation and waste within corporate processes - it's still a challenge to apply it in real world situations.

For anyone who understands French, this is freaking hilarious and on point.
(And even if you don't, I'm sure you can get the gist of it).

 

[Starat327]

And doesnt do 284.574 squats a day

Also not the strongest person on the board, either.

It was a true mangoism

Funny comment from a Provorov article

"Great article! Provorov is our do it all number one defense-man by a wide margin, and we have him with great contract tied to next six seasons, which is a reason to celebrate at it self! Our defense have two expendables in Braun, who we must trade assets back, which we wasted on him as a rental! And Ghost who we should trade for forward depth, which we sadly currently need(because of Oskar”s and Nolan”s cases), and possible trade partners could be Toronto and Columbus. In Toronto they need skill defense-man with good term, we should try to trade Ghost there for Kasperi Kapanen, a talented player with term, who suits well in our currently using system! Or trade Ghost to Columbus for physical and skilled player in Josh Andersson, because we badly need physicality our team, which NAK and Raffl has show”d us, and Andersson can also fight and stand up for our teammates, which is great because then we don”t need these tourist”s, like Chris Steward or Andy Andreoff any more!"

I'd love to have Kapanen but our team is weaker at D then at forward, especially if Ghost is dealt. And Braun, while he gets a lot of crap here, has been a solid player for us.

The article also ignores that Columbus has absolutely no need for a player like Ghosy, having both Werenski and Jones as capable PP players and offensive or well rounded players. Toronto is also a poor choice as their top D, while certainly not terrible, is known for his offense more than his defense, and their prospects are all also more on the offense oriented side.

If not for that comment about Brain being expendable, I'd know exactly which poster here wrote that comment.

I really hope that if Fletch decides to trade Ghost, it’s not for a 3C.

That would be a colossal waste of an asset.

I hope he doesnt move him at all, and instead insists his coach use him properly. That in itself would be like a trade... except we wouldn't have to waste assets.

 

[renberg]

The Leafs have to be looking down the road. Cecil, Muzzin and Barry are UFAs and Dermott an RFA after this season. They need decent defensemen with manageable term on their contracts.

How do you feel about Kreider? What do you think he would cost?

Exactly.

Imagine if someone told you that we could trade a 3rd pair defensemen for a 1st pair defensemen... I assume everyone would be on board for that, right?

Actually I take that back, some would disagree, just because...

 

[Ghosts Beer]

A big addition at C is probably the most impactful move this team could make, IMO. So I think it would be a great use of an asset.

But most teams already have their own small offensive defensemen, probably who are producing better. So I’m not sure there’s actually much of a market for the current incarnation of Ghost.

@Tripod "I barely even bother calling out Ghost anymore."

 

[Starat327]

Love the player, but dont think were in a) the position to send our first+ for him, which is what I think its cost, or b) sign him to term, which would be the only reason I'd consider the cost in A.

With Patrick and Lindbloms injuries, were kinda stuck in the water, cap wise. If either come back next season, its unrealistic to think they'd cost much, but we also dont have much to spare, either.

Haggs money goes to Myers. Need a replacement for Elliott, and that wont be any cheaper than he is today, most likely.

One of Pitlick/Kubel has to go. Replace with Frost.

Braun is the only net minus cap transaction weve got, and we have to realistically assume some of that goes to Patrick and/or Lindblom.

You need to just Igor silent Dingus. This place is much more enjoyable.

Alexa doesnt answer with the wifi off. Borrow a book from @Chinatown88 or something.

 

[deadhead]

Flyers shouldn't look at rentals unless they're low cost (i.e. 4th rd pick and second tier prospect like Vorobyev).
With Lindblom and Patrick out, the odds are long against a deep playoff run.
