Goals saved above expected
How much higher their g% is than their xgf%
Tanev and McCabe have good defensive numbers, but Tanev is bad offensively so it evens out a lot.
The goals against despite getting great goaltending

Ah you're an advanced stats guy :laugh: makes sense

This is an absolute steal for the Bruins. Carlo is decent but not like the clowns at TSN make him out to be. I don't think they watch many games outside of the Leafs tbh. Soft, poke checking dman. 6'5 plays like he's 5'10.

I guess at under 4 million he's a good add but Carlo isn't what the panel think he is.

If you're 6'5", you don't play like you're 5'10" by default of being 6'5. 😂 Simply by being 6'5, he can clear the front of the net, move guys around, and do things a 5'10" defenseman can't. Carlo has flaws—he's not great offensively and he's not physical —but defensively and in front of the net, he's extremely good. He's a top-30-40ish RD in the league and an easy second-pair, #4 D. Worth the cost. There's a shortage of good RD in the NHL.

Not sure why you are celebrating assuming Sweeney is making the pick. He'll just draft someone ranked in the 4th round with it.

It's not because of Minten right? The guy who was barely PPG in the WHL at 20 and has 13 points with the Marlies this year?

Carlo is a decent addition but it won't matter. Florida in the playoffs will be on another level.

I don’t disagree. A Florida matchup right now is not expected all things considered but the Leafs brass really will have a hard time justifying trading the next 3 1st round picks and still not ending up a top contender. I like the Carlo deal, McCabe deal is solid. Laughton one sucks.

It’s more the fact that Carlo absolutely sucks. A first for that plug is highway robbery. Treliving got fleeced

Given there are fans from basically every team who make an effort to spend a lot of time in every Leaf topic reminding us how bad we are, yes it is.

And yet you don't seem to have any problems constantly posting negative things about other teams and players. :shakehead

"Minten is a perfect example of why boxscore scouting sucks. Dude is nothing special per his stats but so smart and impactful on the ice"

"Better than any Montreal prospect outside of Hutson"

"Floor is Lars Eller"

This minton is intriguing 2nd best prospect for leafs and already has played a few nhl games and put up points. I think tonight first game for him in providence let's see what he has .

I'll be surprised if he's better than Matt Stajan. Maybe that's still a win for Boston though. I personally was pretty disappointed in the pick and disappointed with the numbers he put up the last couple years.nGood chance he's an NHLer no matter what though. Could be 2C, could be 4C.

If he's a Matt Stajan that's a pretty good get on it own. Stajan had a long successful career. I don't get all the Carlo hate. I quite liked him but he doesn't play to his size which is what I think annoyed most of us.

Carlo is 6'5" and can skate for someone at that size. He uses his reach very well to take away space and to direct people away from the net. He had success being the guy that covered for Krug defensively and has had success being buried in the d-zone with a much better two way D like Lindholm.

I think he can help make Morgan the best version of himself, but he individually will struggle against aggressive forecheckers when the puck is on his side of the ice, so Rielly better skate back fast.
 
Carlo is slow so is a big problem at evens if playing top four. But as a bottom pair, pk guy he’s perfect.
