Thread: Whats with all the Chiarot hype
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs1289</b></div><div>Analytics have nothing to do with how a defensive player plays the gap on an opposing player or how efficient they are at wearing down opposing players in the corner or in front of the net which is worth something to actual nhl coaches and GMs come playoff time .. I’m not saying he’s worth a first and a prospect but he’s definitely worrh a first to a contending team or a 2nd and a B prospect</div></div>

Ok but my point is, if they don't play a good gap consistently, it isn't measured as a stat but it will show up in the form of goals against, expected goals against, penalty differential, etc. Not many guys can get away with poor play from the eye test and good analytics, the results add up over time. FWIW a 2nd round pick at the deadline would be pretty reasonable given the decisions we see NHL GMs make all the time. I hate all the 1st + chatter but it isn't going anywhere when you've got media guys pumping the tires.

Thread: Whats with all the Chiarot hype
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs1289</b></div><div>Unless you have watched a majority of games he’s played in Montreal you have no idea how good he is.. stats and analytics don’t tell the whole story of a player</div></div>

You need the stats/analytics and the tape to tell the whole story. When you watch games, there are plenty of guys that look like they're doing a whole lot and in the grand scheme not much of it matters. For example, if Chiarot can't keep his gap on an entry, it doesn't matter how well he clears the crease. It's like falling into holes and then bragging about how good you are at climbing out of holes. So much defensive value lies in what <em>doesn't</em> happen, it can make it difficult to really assess performance without seeing the long-term results in the measurable stats.

Thread: Who It Should Be
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Bozak is washed, I think. Pains me to say that, but the guy can't even win draws anymore.

As for Barby, he has already had seasons of 25% and 23.3%, and he's pretty selective about shooting, so it's not the craziest thing ever for him to be over 20%. All players go through this stuff at some point. Schenn slumped way harder for way longer last season. Frenchy has slumps most every season. Kyrou's heading there now.

But I am starting to think maybe our group needs a small shake up to wake the boys up. Their effort level has been wildly inconsistent lately. Maybe it's a lull, maybe we have some nags going around, maybe it's an issue to worry about. I'm not sure. I think I might be more inclined to try moving Schenn before moving cheaper, younger guys like Barby and Sunny. Just from a cap future standpoint, really. I've even wondered if the Jets would do a Copp swap built around him. The things that stop me with that idea is 1) he's so good in the group &amp; 2) that contract ain't gonna easy to work with</div></div>

You might be right about Bozy, hard to say. He's not a great option for 4C and he's getting beat out anywhere else too. To be clear, Barby is good value and good fit no matter where you play him, but if some desperate team comes in with a big offer, you gotta listen to them. Could flip futures for more help on D while trusting Dak/Brown/Bozak to step into the forward hole.

You're spot on with Schenn, it hurts the room big time but escapes the potential albatross contract.

Thread: Who It Should Be
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>I don't think they'd do it but it would be pretty interesting to see what they could get for him. Versatile, cheap, young and with great production this season. Plus Joshua works as a 4C and Bozak can drop in anywhere in the lineup. If a big offer came in for Barby, Kostin, even Parayko, I'd have to put my thinking cap on... don't think thats in Army's gameplan though.</div></div>
