Instead of generalizing and discrediting an entire group of posters as you often do, how about you tell us if you believe Parayko is more or less valuable than the players I mentioned? Do you believe Parayko's value is accurately captured in a $2.5M valuation?
Aside from maybe Brodie, nobody believes that Parayko is a worse player than any of those guys, and Dom doesn't either. That's not what this says.
No model will ever be perfect, especially in a sport like hockey. It’s not a realistic assumption. Nor is tailoring a model to cater to players or teams that are more anomalies than typical.
I agree with most of what you said. I disagree with generalizing and projecting emotion onto people for pointing out the flaws in the model. That's strange to me.
You hit on a key point that is often overlooked. His insane deployment hurts HIS numbers, but it helps the team in that it allows our other D pairs to get easier assignments where they can perform better.
It's not just 1 player. He has Pelech as a 3.2M player. It's that type of deployment that his model struggles on.
You're right. The main issue that people have is that Dom doesn't acknowledge how irrelevant this projection is for a player like Parayko. He doesn’t provide any context, like: Yes, Parayko is on this list, but we shouldn’t put much weight on that because he’s a defensive defenseman with tough assignments that my model doesn’t account for properly.
By my calculations that suggests Seider, according to Dom's model, will surpass Parayko as one of the worst contracts in hockey once his extension kicks in.
