Thread: 2 year contention window
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>Okay. Total points over the last 3 years is clearly the determining factor for whether or not a D-man is good.

Doesn’t matter if most of his points are secondary assists. Doesn’t matter if they are inflated from owing on PP1. Doesn’t matter if his 5v5 points per 60 are not even top 50. Doesn’t matter that he struggles heavily in his own zone. Doesn’t matter that the wings allowed fewer chances against with Hronek on the bench instead of on the ice.

Maybe the reason Detroit is the 30th team is because they rely on players like Hronek to lay top pair minutes when he is a 3rd pair caliber defenseman</div></div>

Clearly an indication of production there’s various factors to determine role with team. No one ever said he was a top pairing defensemen but merely countering your statement he isn’t a top 4 on most teams. Per minute stats when not playing appropriate competition , defensive scheme, or complementary linemates easily explain that issue. As for analytics that leverage high danger it’s subjective to the arena as it’s not an exact measurement so it can fluctuate from each respective arena. Typically when you face the other teams top competition playing above your skill level will typically do that. Again, common sense would say playing on the ice against a Crosby versus some bottom 6 guy would result in more shots on net.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>Not sure what a HERO chart is but okay.

Look, an offensive d-man with first unit powerplay time who can’t crack 40 points, mostly picks up secondary assists to pad his point totals, wastes shots regularly from low-danger areas, is slow in making decisions in his own end, and struggles to keep forward to the outside is not a piece worth aquiring. Especially not for a solid defensive Dman AND a 1st.

Excusing bad analytics and poor performance due to environment or whatever when other defenseman on the same team actually played good hockey is lazy.</div></div>
Again, 35th in points for in the last 3 years on a bottom 2 offensive team. You’d realize that Seider was PP1 QB but I’m sure your charts forgot that important fact. That first
Is 30th overall give me a break jeez do you believe half the crap that you spew?

Thread: What could we get to take on Bob
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Maybe you could trade Bob for Muzzin and Mrazek and go from there? Idk tbh. But if ur making this deal for Bob u probably have to send a goalie back tbh. He’s coming off a very good season even if the contract is atrocious.</div></div>
Problem is that large market teams would prefer the two smaller contracts as burying them would give them more relief. Another factor would be what are the odds Muzzin goes LTIR? Again even more cap savings. With smaller market teams that’s not chump change like it was with Pronger, Weber, etc.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles5513</b></div><div>Easier way to move him would be to swap him for two smaller contracts that are undesirable. It’s far from an ideal scenario though and relies on Bob being willing to waive his NMC. I don’t c that happening.</div></div>
Very unlikely considering his contract + play.

Thread: Stevey Wants Sergy
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMBL</b></div><div>They asked guys with trade protection if they would waive last year, luckily for those guys none of them did. Depending on their performance next season and if they do win the cup this year, it's possible that McDonagh would be willing to waive and move 100% on his own terms, rather than getting moved when the M-NTC kicks in.</div></div>

McDonagh’s M-NTC begins January 16, 2026. Sergachev will need a new contract next year. If your sales pitch is of McD does bad he’s more willing to move then that’s odd because he won’t be as coveted. Second, how do you do a sales pitch to someone saying you’re going to leave a powerhouse of a team in the best possible earnings/weather to play elsewhere? This notion that someone will do it for the betterment of a team they no longer belong too and have developed relationships/roots in the community is illogical.
