Hm, here I was thinking that his last season is likely due for regression.A player who has actually gotten better every season he has been in the league.

If this progression continues, and I'm sure it will, this deal is a steal for Fenton.
Trouba would be wrong! I think this helps Chevy.
This is new and excitingGood deal....
for the rest of the NHL.
bad contracts for bad players like this kill any team's chances of winning.
The price for competent Dmen is obviously rising, Trouba at 6 is a good deal ,I think! Allows him to be traded if he wants out and shouldn't be insulted by the money.He must be aware that stating you want out hurts your value and your reputation.As do I.
When Dumba gets to 123 points he will level off for a few years and then decline rapidly.Hm, here I was thinking that his last season is likely due for regression.
For some reason, I don't think it's very sustainable to expect significant progress every single year.
How is WAR determined? Could this be an artifact of players under 25 generally being part of the supporting cast on good teams, whereas by the time they're in their late 20's they're the main guys playing against matchups? Or does WAR take into account the quality of opponents, offensive/defensive zone starts, etc.?
NHL d-men under 23 or 24 are usually the top-pairing talents ... the bottom pairing guys plug away in the AHL til 25-26, finally make the NHL and bring down the stats for that age. My best guess anyway. WAR could just be garbage too. Either way, a chart saying that d-men peak (not just offensively but all around) at 22 is misleading at best.
Why would you chose to show CF% to pretend like that shows a player getting worse when actual relevant stats show they are clearly getting better. Goals and to a much lesser extent assists are actually real stats that matter. If a player each year is responsible for putting up more points then the previous year every year of his career thats actual improvement. That corsi and advanced stats garbage are not actual factors on a game.
Also Dumba>Rielly I dont know why people were saying you cant compare the 2 and they arent in the same league but speaking about the one that is clearly worse as the better one? I honestly dont want to look up the stats but im sure they follow then eye test. Id consider both more offensive D then shut down guys. Who averages more goals a season? I dont care about points or assists because anyone can get an assist. Im sure people could find a stat that shows zone start + TOI ÷ skate size × the circumference of a moose that would be better for Rielly then Dumba but Ill take the flying elephant in Minni on my D on this deal any day.
This is/will be a good contract for what Dumba brings. Man the 2012 draft was insane for D. No franchise level defenseman, but a ton of top 4 talent
Who cares how Trouba feels?
Trouba is not as good as DumbaIt's the fact he'll say 'Dumba got this, I should get that.' Because Trouba is much better than Dumba and as a Jets fan I care.
Thanks for the laugh, carry on.It's the fact he'll say 'Dumba got this, I should get that.' Because Trouba is much better than Dumba and as a Jets fan I care.
Was just 6 years ago, who knows if there are any frinchise level defensmen. And I guess that kinda varies by definition. For me a frinchise defensmen is someone who is constantly talked about for the Norris.
