Because the system is stupid and basically asks for it.
They gave up a f*** load of SCA even when they were good.

Jordan Weal has 4 points in 5 games. He's got an interesting discrepancy between his relCF% and his relxGF%, though (relCF% negative, relxGF% positive). [Corsica.Hockey].
Either way, would've been a really good add this summer.

For a team that was so obviously devoid of offensive talent, it's incredible the guys we didn't bring in vs the guys we did.
Were they actually expecting Grabner to shoot 17% again? Buchnevich to miraculously jump to 60 points? Vesey to improve? All of these things were so obviously not going to happen.
Like Jerry Reese expecting the five guys on the Giants O-Line to just magically progress and get better.

"We talking bout Jordan Weal and Nail Yakupov?" - Allen Iverson
Dan Girardi's CF% and RelCF% have both officially dropped to negative with the Bolts. End of an era.

Well, yes. Much of the value of the 'fancystat' revolution is going to come in being able to recognize market-undervalued players. Weal and Yakupov were somewhat obvious 'bargain bin' hunting in this year's free-agency.
Instead, we went to DD51, which we knew would be an issue as he has always been one of those guys who's tasked with playing way above where he actually should be (ie. a fourth liner who's now in our top-6 and a staple on PP2), and given PTOs to Desjardins. Ignoring guys like Franson. Ignoring Weal. Ignoring Yak.
Everyone knows who the 'great' players are. The value comes in being able to separate the rest of the pool from each other.

DD is at least a servicable NHL center, who can eat minutes and score a little and not hurt you there, a position of need for NYR, that's why he was brought in. Those other 2 are not. His usage is a separate issue. Are those 2 definitely better options on the wings than what he already have?
Cody 49% xGF Franson over the past 2 seasons is just a tad overrated. Is he really a better option than Shatt/ADA/Smith?
I'm all for moneypuck but I really don't see the value in those guys to our team.

Yes. I'd say that Weal and Yakupov are definitely better options than Carey and Vesey, but that's besides the point which is that the Rangers continue to show that their player evaluation, from FO to coaching staff, isn't quite there yet, IMO.
Sure, Franson was a 49.47 xGF% player over the past two seasons (Corsica.Hockey), but you fail to mention that this 49.47 xGF% is +2.68%. IMO, Franson at 1yr, $1m is a better option than Smith at 4/$4.35m.

Miller has been great at C and we still won't play him there.
But Hayes there? That's fine.

Nash was absurd tonight. What'd he hit, three posts plus the great play by Letang? Goals are gonna start coming for him.

It's all so tiresome
Didn't watch the whole game, but we played a great 3rd period. Unfortunate mistakes by Shattenkirk and McDonagh.

A lot of good things to build on in that game, really. Just need to start cutting back on the ****ing turnovers.
Oh, and get Buch off the 4th line for ****s sake.

Weal was never available, he was re-signed before he became a free agent. Not worth saying that the Rangers should have signed him and worrying about that.
Yakupov...I'm interested to see how he does all season but he's consistently disappointed year after year even if he goes through some hot spurts. Not sure it's worth crying about him as well.
McDonagh's CF% and rel CF% sharply up this year without Girardi I see...

Here's a question, how are QoT and QoC used and what do the numbers mean? Corsica has CF% QoT(C) and TOI% QoT(C) but I'm not sure how to read those numbers

It's pretty funny. What, 90% of people (if not more) on HFNYR are finally fed up with AV, and I find myself not totally blaming him for the struggles this early in the season. His deployment is horrendous, both who he plays and how he plays them, but AV's not coaching McDonagh, Smith, Skjei, and DeAngelo to make the horrendous turnovers they've been making.
It's also not his fault that Gorton's off-season was absolutely horrid.
Fire the guy, but like, chill out, HF

^ The suspense is killing me. I got a quote notification, but nothing to respond to! I feel like an enforcer the night before playing Geroges Laraque.
