I agree that he is the best playmaker, but I disagree that he needs to be the one making the plays all the time? You act as if he wouldn't be putting the puck of Kadri's stick, who would be burying more often than Bozak would...

His CAREER% of PP goals = 27% AS A LEAF = 30%, you're the one who made up the 40% then made up a number to make it work...

It's obvious for anyone that understands Kessel's game today, he's a playmaker, he makes plays, he wants to be the guy to make the plays. Let's put 2 playmakers on a line where defence is not their strongest suit. I wonder if these kids think hockey is just like playing a Video game.

LOL 30% is not relevant? thats exactly what you are saying. So if I take 30% of your pay check and say 70% is more relevant, you wouldnt be mad? If you took stats, you would know that nothing more then a .05 p value is considered relevant, its best to use a .01 p value, either way, 30% is statistically significant, and ignoring it makes the statistics invalid

Oh no, my brains.
What a crazy notion. I don't get the advanced stat hate, like it's a tool to see how the team can improve, why ignore it outright.

Is the object of the game to win as many games as possible, often by having the best spread out lineup as we did last season? You sound like one of those Grabovksi guys last year, let's play him on the top line so he can pad his stats. The game is about winning, not individual stats.
Career stats on another team are irrelavent when discussing who to play with on this team
OK, I get it, you think they should play Kadri on the 2nd line cause he is better and it spreads it out, better than "Bozak is better than Kadri" I guess, but I like to see a player maximize his abilities
That's what makes him and JVR together, they are both fast skilled wingers who can snipe and playmake.

It doesnt even matter that this website has it wrong, 30% is still statistically relevant either way

I like Bozak on the Kessel line because he is a better all around Center than Kadri is now at this point of their careers, you are only interested in padding stats without understanding defence wins hockey games too. Now you get it?
My theory is some people just think they are better at watching hockey or something, don't want to think that anyone can just "learn" hockey (for lack of a better term)
30% is valid, but you have specially made lines for the PP that are more offensive vs those in 5 on 5.
Lobstertainment
Oh no, my brains.
How does that make sense at all unless we're planning on bringing in Kreijci or Savard.

Kessel and JVR need someone to get them the puck in the neutral zone, they don't need anyone joining them on 3 on 1 rushes. What makes Bozak so good on that line, is he has no illusions of being on their level offensively, this is why that line scored 4 goals head to head against Pittsburg's Crosby's line and was +9 collectively. Strong offensive presence with Bozak as their defensive conscience.
Yeah, I just don't think that Bozak is any better defensively, that line has looked fine IMO in their own zone with Kadri, and getting more offensive zone time, best defensive is a good offense
The C in career should be capitalized and you forgot the period at the end of the sentence.
I'm just messing with you. I'll quit it.

hahaha its only funny when I do it
Website had it right guy, you had them wrong, and back to my original point, 70% is more relevant, win the 5v5 battle you win the game, also I could probably pull it up to show you how Kadri is better on the PP with Kessel than Bozak is as well?
