Domi's production in terms of PPG played in the playoffs was about the same as it was in the regular season, despite his ATOI going down by almost 3 minutes per game. Based on that, calling him a playoff performer seems reasonable.
You don't like the facts, OK. That doesn't mean I'm "grasping" though, it just means that you don't like the facts.
I guess it depends on you definition of playoff performer. For me, that's someone who's level of play at minimum doesn't drop off when the playoffs start (like Marner), and ideally one who's level of play even rises during the playoffs. So with that in mind, "40 point player in the playoffs" is to me completely irrelevant - you need to compare to the regular season.
I don't know where you're getting this from but I was just looking at last season. Not saying what happened before is irrelevant, the most recent season does carry the most weight though so that's what I did. And as I said before, Domi's rate of production went up a fair bit when you look at ATOI while Marner's went down (as usual).
Probably perfectly fine as well, if not good. When you have a player who's on a bad team and tasked with creating offense, their defensive impact is going to suffer. But on the Leafs, they'll be more sheltered by good defensive players and won't have to worry about creating offense for the whole team. Domi especially should be just fine, defense is largely about effort and intelligence and he has both
The bad: They brought in 4 players with rather poor defensive impacts so far at the expense of better ones.
The leafs main issue seems to be a lack of goalscoring in the playoffs, so I understand the thought process of adding a bunch of depth scoring/point producing options.
I get your point and I agree, and I think he'll be a good get, but I don't know if "Bertuzzi" and "zero risk" can ever be used in the same sentence.
Yeah fair enough, I'd forgotten that his raw point totals in these playoffs were decent. Still, by now we know what Marner is and even in these playoffs, the first two games were great and then he reverted back his usual playoff mediocrity.
Lol very true, he is rather injury prone but the leafs will already be using their LTIR a ton this year with Muzzin and possibly Murray so if Bertuzzi gets injured it wouldn't effect their ability to accrue cap space during the season.I get your point and I agree, and I think he'll be a good get, but I don't know if "Bertuzzi" and "zero risk" can ever be used in the same sentence.
Did you even read either of my posts. It clearly states I am all for physical play and protecting the players.
You know the answer man
and no one in Toronto is going to ask that. Let’s hope shanny reverts back to his player days and shows him some Senses
But not in Columbus or Chicago. I would point out that Montreal tried to make him into a winger which he was apparently not happy with. The two best seasons of his career were last year and his first in Montreal and he was used in both as a center.
