Player Discussion Brandon Carlo III

[wintersej]

He only had 59 shifts start in the OZone all season. Corsi is not the right stat to use when evaluating either - that's just percentage of shot attempts. You had a change in philosophy from Cassidy (high shot volume strategy) to Montgomery (lower shot volume, higher quality) so you're mixing metaphors when you include that timeframe.

The whole league is shallow at RD. Bruins with their three are far from shallow (assuming a return to normal quality of play by the entire team of course).

I mean even if we limit it to the Monty era, the stats don't really change in that Bergeron drove Carlo's possession rates massively. I don't know how we can all spend 20 years pumping Bergeron's tires and then pretend it doesn't matter. He covered a lot of weaknesses.

But yeah, as I said, possession isn't really the right way to judge Carlo. That ain't his job. Problem is that it's a team with too many guys whose job isn't to drive possession.

Well this whole thing started about Carlo’s deployment. Carlo gets buried more than any defenseman in the entire league. Kesselring has not shown anything close to being the kind of defenseman who can handle that level
Of deployment. Again, regardless of who his father is.

This is rich coming from the guy who said he wouldn't trade Lohrei for Chychrun straight up and told me Lohrei was in the same area code as Faber.

Nice deflection.

I still wouldn’t trade Lohrei for Chychrun.

Trade Carlo for Vatrano

Find a way to get McTavish with Carlo as the key return.

I think Lohrei is what he is, offensive flair that's learning how to become a defenseman in the NHL. Its not going to work.

I would honestly move him back to forward, he would be more useful
