Thread: If Marner chooses California
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jaok3</b></div><div>Idk if Marner would want to go there but it is possible. He would be by far the best player and help teach the forwards how to play a 2-way game. When your top point getter has 60 points and is a -20 a 2-way game needs to be worked on.</div></div>

And then a couple years into his contract when we need the $12 million dollar man the most, right around April, he will disappear like he does every year. A few years after that, we'll need the cap space, and he'll be stuck on our roster, just as he's stuck on Toronto's now.

Coaching staff teaches the two way game, and +- is a team metric, you seem to forget that -24 happened when the Ducks had a historicaly bad season due largely to running waivers claims and PTO guys for half the defense. He wasn't even the worst forward on the team per that metric. That same guy managed to post a -1 in 31 games played this season, extrapolated out over an 82 game schedule that's a -3.

Thread: Buying Youth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>That Narrative exists because he sucks at defense.



Corsi and Fenwick are unreliable. If you look at their career defensive metrics Necas is much better. Zegs has never been good defensively.



Would rather target a legitimate center.

You're parading around the forums pricing Zegras unreasonably high. No thanks. Another soft winger who sucks defensively isn't an organizational need.</div></div>

The stats I quote are unreliable, but the ones you didn't quote, just waving your hands in the air proclaiming they are true are? Fine, how about counting stats, Zegras career production is 0.73 pts/game, Necas despite being two years older, played 150 more games, and on a better team, is only 0.67 pts/game. Maybe bother to back your arguments up in the same sentence you wave off someone else's, it just makes you look silly.

You don't get a 23 year old top line talent without paying for them, you don't seem to get that.
