I love how many words you used to say "an nhl coach of a really bad team does it so it must be right "
Just because you dont understand stats or context of those stats is no reason to appeal to authority so hard. Unless you wanna tell me thst no coach has ever done a wrong thing ever, or an gm either, considering they are gms so they know way more than you so you cant say otherwise.
Anyways, savard sucks and cant defend

I said every NHL coach you dunce. I understand stats, I work in engineering. I think you can read numbers and believe what people tell you about them. I don't think you understand the stats whatsoever. Maybe you'll understand when you're older, probably not though....

Savard is good though, especially in the areas we need to address. We also know what type of players Rielly pairs best with and Savard is that. Anderson is not super overpaid at all; you could argue he's overpaid based on his current production, but he also has incredible value as a physical forechecker with great speed and finishing ability, a skillset that I think would make him look great on this team, especially in the playoffs. Monahan is great both ways and always has been, he's an ideal 3C with the potential to play further up the lineup.

This team is undoubtedly better IMO, and we'd only be spending assets that are very questionable to be game changers come playoff time, in a year where I feel we have our best shot at winning a cup. Appreciate the feedback, but we'll need to agree to disagree I think.
