Lol... Anaheim 1st line toi.
Both a just players. You can pit all the stats ypu want.
Henrique / Vantrano are nothing more than 3rd line players. You best stick to your games on TV. You don't have many left.
Inflated # s because the play for a losing team.
They are what they are.
Henrique washed up C, but solid bottom 6
Vatrano is a career middle 6, who's having his career year. He has always shot the puck a ton.
Those are not fair trade comps for Henrique, he gets more toi than he deserves and half as much as he will get with whatever poor team acquires him.
You should watch hockey, instead of burrying your head in analytics.
Got it. I thought you had in it you to make a big boy argument, my mistake.
3rd line players:
I admitted both were middle 6 guys, not sure if you’re aware, but that includes the 3rd line. And has zero relevancy to him meeting 1st rd pick value, in fact, it further confirms it. Your ‘star’ Lindholm is currently.. a 3rd line center
Inflated numbers
If you think playing on a garbage team inflates your stats, your lack of hockey knowledge is showing clearly. ANA is 4th to last in goals scored and 3rd worst in plus/minus. Sure, he gets a few more minutes a night, but that doesn’t offset a team that can’t score, except when he’s on the ice. He’s doing well in both in spite of team, system, linemates, and starting in his own end constantly. You’ve either never played hockey on a bad team before, or never played hockey at all if that’s seriously your take
Washed up:
Point to one material thing that suggests he’s washed up. I’ll open the door wide open to you. And since you love opinions instead of facts so much,
Here’s a scout’s from yesterday, who rates him an 85. By the way, Mantha just went for a 2nd and 4th as a 3rd liner who a) underproduces Henrique, b) is considerably worse defensively, and c) doesn’t have the positional advantage as a winger.
Repeating your opinions like a child doesn’t make you right. I don’t blame you for not watching ANA games, we’re garbage. But if you’d like to use your own methods of evaluation in the eyeball test, I challenge you to do so. If you’re willing to let yourself be wrong (which I doubt at this point), I’m all but certain you’ll see that
Either way, let’s definitely check in on each other after the trade lands. The floor of a return should be set with that Mantha trade, which itself isn’t even terribly far off of a late first
