iF you want a top tier defensively strong center you want Hertl, not Scheifele.


Nice try, but not even remotely close. ;)

I mean to adding the level of players in your hypothetical? No, but no team would (or could) do that.

Those teams all made major deadline acquisitions and then won. Tampa and Boston made several.

Sooo the selke votes in 2 different years were just a generous gesture? A handout?

Mark Scheifele has been arguably the worst defensive center in the league over the last few years.

I just looked his stats up and he's even worse than I thought. He's literally the worst or top 5 worst among centers in almost every defensive category there is, both in actual numbers and relative. Shots. Scoring chances. High danger scoring chances. Goals. Expected goals.

He has been almost impressively bad defensively.

In theory, yes, but in practice, these types of moves will probably increases the odds — greatly — of this team losing in the first round of the POs.

That is, besides 2. Adding a little depth is hard to argue against. And maybe even 3. But 1? Have never seen it help before and it’s been tried so many times.

Off the top of my head, Marty St. Louis comes to mind as a top 6 forward addition that worked out for us
 
Strome has his brainfarts but there's great value there if he's signing for $5ish M.

Agree, and kind of feel like if it ain't broken, why fix it? These guys are used to playing together. There's obviously been good chemistry going on between Strome and Panarin (throw Fox in there too) since the get go. If they can find a consistently productive right winger to gel with, look out. We got one of the better second lines in the league. Will look even more solid under Gallant.
 
That's how you determine if someone is good defensively? They receive a one-off Selke vote?

Strome is a better(or similar) defender
Lol no it is not how I determine. I have watched him plenty of times . And it wasn’t just one year. Lol at Strome being similar. Big Lol.

the only Big Lol is Scheifeles defensive metrics. He's terrible
