Player Discussion Rasmus Andersson breakout

How? He's statistically been one of the best shutdown dmen 4 out of the last 5 seasons?

"advanced" metrics for defense are more than flawed, they're practically useless since they are all corsi/shot based. He's an excellent offensive defenseman, which massively skews those numbers.

Bad take, he is consistently one of the best defensemen every year in preventing zone entries.

Well you told me things like corsi, xGA, and Def WAR are useless stats so I didn't bother mentioning how dominant he's been in them

I'd re-sign him, if he's willing to do a reasonable deal. 6 years at maybe $7M per*. Make sure you know what he wants to do, and if there's no clear reply, see what the market is at the TDL, 50% retained if needed.

If there isn't good enough deal, wait until July, and see again if he's willing to sign, and if not, trade him.

So basically it all depends what he's asking for.
*no idea what's the market price for Andersson calibre players.

Darnell Nurse contract. Especially if he keeps putting up the points.
