Player Discussion JT Miller Thread - Family Man

[Regal]

An injury?
Age?

The backend Allvin built?

What could have been;

Hughes, Hronek, Myers, Soucy, Zadorov, Juulsen, Brannstrom

Present defence cap hit - 26.525
Above - 27.75

And use Poolman's LTIR cap hit

They say they moved Poolman so they had more cap space to sign a player at the TDL, but if they are not in the show that cap space is now useless.
With the amount of degrading to the defence that will happen. It puts more pressure on all the forwards to play defence more than be offensive threats, the forwards start off so deep the opposition defence has time to pinch or back off and get into position.

The season rides on the special teams effectiveness.

Right now the have a pretty pedestrian point total, I know lots of fans see the points, I see the wins and losses and right now that is .500 with an extremely easy schedule.

This year so far, 19th in goals for, 19th in goals against, 14th in points, tied with many teams but they have the 8th best point percentage with the gimmick loser counted. How many loser points did they get in the real season?
This week they have less than 200 miles to travel and 3 games spread out over 7 days.

Ya, they can't have either Miller or Hughes have bad games

I don’t understand the criticism of “gimmick loser points”, when they’ve been losing the gimmick. It would be more concerning if all their wins were in OT/SO. They’re getting points for taking it into overtime, which would give you a chance to win in the “real season”. Their regulation points percentage is 9th in the league before the games today.

I have no idea where you are getting your stats from.

I can't find ANY stats that show them anywhere near close to 9th best in the league.

The gimmick point? Adding that point just makes it look closer than it is, a team playing .500 is, or was half way right? Add the gimmick point and now .500 is like 5th to 7th worst in the league.

Points percentage we are 8th in the league at .650

Points percentage we are 8th in the league at .650

With the gimmick point but not considering fewer games.
5 wins and 5 losses.

But does the league use the stats they've been rolling with for years or do they say "I wonder how guardianII feels about this" ...... They are 5 and 5 in your world Tiger. That's it. All 32 teams play by the same rules. Points pctg is a thing.
