The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

That's his defense. Okay, Dahlin is playing injured. But he has no chemistry with Jokiharju. Top 4 RD still missing. Byram is left-handed, we needed a right-hander. Power is developing, and it seems to be going well. Ruff says he doesn't like it when a guy plays on the wrong side. Samuelsson is deteriorating, plagued by injuries, Clifton is just a physical guy from the third pair.

Adams created this defense himself, he could have done it differently.

No chemistry aside from his consistently best possession metrics.

Cool, but it doesn't work.

If you don't believe in possession stats they also have by far the best counting stats this season too.

That's not the point, it's just that statistics don't always reflect what's actually happening on the ice and what doesn't pass the eye test. I've already talked about this here before, why Dahlin and Joki have good metrics, but they don't have chemistry and they don't fit together.

So for years they've had good raw numbers GF/GA AND good possession stats, but none of that matches your eye test?

Maybe both sets of stats are wrong.

How many points did Dahlin score with Joki and how many with Samuelsson? Also how effective was Dahlin on RD compared to how he plays on LD, do you have that stat?
