Thread: part 3 of 3
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>michaelost</b></div><div>LMFAOOOO BUD. do u understand what advanced analytics are? Palmieri was just traded for a first and players a year ago. tHaT kyLe pAlMieRi? See? thats stupid. teams learn their lessons. Palmieri doesnt have the point production but he isnt playing bad. And theres a big difference between a year left and 2 lol. Shayne is now gonna go for likely a 2nd+prospect or a 1st. teams like the Habs are gonna jump on the opportunity to double dip at TDLs. You are obviously not involved in the advanced analytics community lol</div></div>

Palmieri had value as a 28 yo rental, half a year removed from a pretty productive season. Are you aware that player's games tend to decline as they age? Hey, there might even be some analytics that support that??

I'm sure you can pull 1000 different analytics relative to teammates, and everything else to show how great Palmieri actually has been this year.

Long story short. He's 30, making $5M per with term, and has 3g in his last 42 regular season games. He could have 100% WAR, it's not going to make him worth his contract today, and definitely not 2 years from now.

Also, if he's still going to be such an effective player 2 years from now, why do the Isles ship him out?

Thread: If we dont have a deep playoff run
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CapFriendlysFinest</b></div><div>Just freeing up cap to have a more balanced attack and fresh outlook. Arviddson, Tierney and Robertson all add fresh life into a spot where Marner sat. Similar to how we added Bunting, Kase and Ritchie where Hyman use to be.</div></div>

The idea with moving on from Hyman was not committing long term to a 29 yo, and gamble by taking a chance on some younger players that were either coming off injuries, or were late bloomers.

You're doing the opposite here. Marner over the last 2 seasons (including this one in which he's struggled a bit) 81 games - 88 pts. He's 24 yo.
Arvidsson (28 yo) over last 2 seasons 79 games 45 pts. Tierney 84 games 26 pts. Marner is outscoring them both himself (pretty easily), and you've made the team older. Marner is also a top PK option/2 way player, so it's not as if you could point to improving the team defensively.

Robertson is in play to make the team next year no matter what happens to Marner - so he wouldn't be part of the equation.
