Like MTL, the ducks have 4 very young dman in the lineup, and like MTL, the team has been similarly dogshit this year.

I would like you to go slot by slot and compare these players right now. Do you give the same "bad team" excuse for players on a bad team that you don't cheer for?

Zellweger has been fantastic... feel like if he didnt play that 1 extra game last year hed be in the calder conversation this year(clarke on same boat)

Youre the one having access to advanced stats. Whats the xGF of every defensemen with 22+ minutes. Also, why pick the ducks who, despite sucking, only have -9 goals differentials. Shouldnt you use the sharks?

To be fair anaheims goal differential is only decent because Dostal is god mode right now

MTL and Anaheim have xGoals% both around 44% and similarly young. Closest comp, although as a whole I'd favour MTLs skaters slightly.

All of these stats are public access.

Here's all of em.

I picked the ducks because they, like MTL have 4 young dman they play, and so I thought it was a better comparison. Doesn't make too much of a difference tho, the Ducks have higher "pedigree guys".

If you want you can justify how MTL and SJS are in a virtually identical spot and yet you're convinced every single MTL player is better than his SJS counterpart tho.

Can we just give this thread a mercy rule. Great young d-man, but we don't need this.

We do need it, for posterity

Somebody started a thread, all the vultures home in.

Finally got a glimpse of the great Lane Hutson in the Oil-Habs game. All i have to say is it's been a long time since PK was in his prime in Montreal.

Watch him play ever, guy with the purple name?

Watch him play ever, guy with the purple name?

Perhaps he has Mr. Poster that hopefully could be known as the "man with the yellow hat".

He’s got a lot of offensive talent… the way habs fans hate zegras should translate to Hutson soon enough

 

[Guttersniped]

Theyre not meaningless but they're not the ultimate truth either. Just like xGF%, whom some consider like the be it end all of all statistics (You're one of them BTW). In the Bedard vs Hughes poll thread someone acted like bedard's rookie 44% vs Hughes 55% was the undeniable proof that Hughes had a better rookie season. Yet that stats doesnt even take account qoc so points and assists are basically just as relevant as that "advanced" stats.

Show me the post that made this argument, I’m genuinely curious if this actually happened.

It should have been tbh.... not sure Hutson needed a main board thread.

You got plenty of young dmen in the league having strong seasons

Clarke has been better than hutson... but doesnt have a mainboard thread

Simon Edvinsson plays on a similarly shit team, with his pairing playing the hardest minutes in hockey, and he's winning those minutes.

No mainboard thread there.

Show me the post that made this argument, I’m genuinely curious if this actually happened.

Also that was Hughes 2nd year he was at 55%, not his rookie year.

Im surprised they let Desharnais go. He wouldve been their only guy that hits with Kane and Nurse out. Podkolzin hits but hes not physically intimidating at all.

It wasn't so much the hits, more the puck battles. The guy was dominant in this regard.
