I don't see how I was wrong on either. Andrighetto has been an after thought in Colorado and a largely irrelevant player, despite all the nonsense we heard after the trade in the summer about how he was part of the solution for a low scoring team. He has eight goals this season which ties him with Nicholas Deslauriers, a player, who, when acquired, we were told was an AHLer and a useless player by many of those same hockey geniuses here who told us that trading Sven away was a disaster.
And now you're saying I'm wrong about Alzner being better offensively and defensively ... How does that work? First, please explain how Alzner is worse offensively while simultaneously having more points? How do you figure?
Secondly, how is Alzner worse defensively than Emelin? I'd love to hear how you've arrived at these conclusions.
That's the problem, those who said that Nicolas Deslauriers was an AHLer, like me, admitted that they were wrong, he's fine as a 4th liner.
But in your case, you still think that you are right and that Alzner is better than Emelin and that trading Andrighetto for Martinsen was not a mistake, which is laughable. Do you still think that Alzner was a good signature ?
We traded Andrighetto for Martinsen, even if he scored only one goal, it's always better than nothing from Martinsen. (zero point in 9 games.)
You want stats ? Fine. Let's compare Emelin's season when Price was injured with Alzner's season with us(Price was Bad/injured).
They both played 20 min/game on average.
Alzner was on ice for 91 goals against.
Emelin was on ice for 69 goals against.
This plus the eye test, I watched almost all Habs games the last 4 years, confirm me that under almost the same conditions, Emelin was better than Alzner for us. I don't have time to look for other stats, you can do it and put the conclusion here.
