Top ten defensemen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorMcHellebucyk</b></div><div>Quote from Jfresh. Tried to send a picture.
“If it weren't for a lack of gaudy point totals, McAvoy would be recognized for the superstar that he is. He's a two-way defenceman in the purest sense: almost no other blueliner at his level defensively comes even close to his offensive ability. Despite the lack of box-score production, McAvoy drives goals, expected goals, and shot attempts at a high level. He led all defencemen in shooting-adjusted xGAA this season. On top of all that, McAvoy drew penalties at by far the highest rate among defenceman in the league. He does all this as the Bruins' #1 defenceman playing the 14th toughest minutes in the league, and the 5th most against top competition. He's not just an up-and-coming star, he's already there - and he deserves the 2020 Norris Trophy.“</div></div>
How much of his "defensive ability" was due to the fact that he played with one of the league's premier shutdown D last year?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JmoneyTalk</b></div><div>Haha no. I actually watch the Oilers. It's 5 games in.. and he's had more then enough shining moments...

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>justaBoss</b></div><div>Statistically speaking it says a lot about how bad the Oilers are if a player with Larsson's statistics is "needed right now more than ever"</div></div>
Caleb Jones was struggling the first few games this year, since he's been in the pressbox Larsson's defensive numbers have been fine.
37:03 TOI with Jones
33:22 TOI w/o Jones
25.91 SA/60 with Jones
23.36 SA/60 w/o Jones
6.48 GA/60 with Jones
0.00 GA/60 w/o Jones
2.24 xGA/60 with Jones
1.89 xGA/60 w/o Jones
48.00 OZ FO% with Jones
30.77 OZ FO% w/o Jones
So despite having more defensive responsibilities placed on him without Jones, his defensive numbers are better.

The Oilers have no interest in Kulak and sure as hell aren't trading Larsson for picks. They want to win now, those picks won't be any help for 4-5 years (if ever). AND you're asking them to retain 50%... there's no reason in the world for them to even think about this.

I didn't say he was as I'm not sure the definition of the word. I simply pointed out that he's getting elite results and that he's full value for them. This isn't a guy riding someone else's coattails.
How long does a guy have to post elite results for you to call him elite? Do you consider Kaprizov elite? He has 4 NHL games under his belt. What about Lafreniere? 3 NHL games and zero points. Is Jack Hughes elite? Crap results in his 1st year, only 3 games this year with elite results. How about Suzuki? Terrible scoring rates at 5v5, his totals are driven by being gifted PP time, which Yamamoto isn't. Glass? 41 NHL games at below-replacement level scoring.
I bet you think a few of these guys are elite, and they haven't even earned it. Why the double standard?

Edmonton says no. They don't have the cap space, don't need another offensive RHD and Puljujarvi is playing very well. I'm not sure Dumba would be better than Bouchard right now, TBH.
I mean, you can say all the sh*t you want about those two guys, but the fact is you placed them at 2RD and 2RW. How do you expect to get a 2RW ($1.2M) + a 2RD ($.9) + a 3rd for a 2RD ($6M)? It just doesn't add up.

A lot of people said that we shouldn't trust his sky-high scoring rates from last year (3.16 P/60, 1st on the team), but he's actually stepped that up through the first 5 games this season, posting 3.60 P/60, good for #1 on the team. That's impressive - a supposedly complimentary winger outscoring his superstar center. Frankly I'm surprised, I starting to think he's better than I (and many others) have given him credit for.

Honestly, it's the language you present the argument in. This is more approachable. I think there might be value in doing a deep-dive comparison between both men's stats to flush out why Rantanen is more RNH than Draisaitl. GF/60 is telling, but it's only one piece of the puzzle.</div></div>
It wasn't tongue-in-cheek, it was a serious question. I don't want to be accused of trolling a guy most people think is a superstar just because the stats I trust show him differently. Thanks.

I was simply pointing out that Rantanen is a replacement-level player without MacKinnon, and posted stats to prove it. This fact combined with his egregious $9.25M contract means he doesn't have much trade value. That was my point.
http://naturalstattrick.com/linestats.php?fromseason=20172018&thruseason=20192020&stype=2&sit=5v5&score=all&rate=y&team=COL&vteam=ALL&view=wowy&loc=B&gpfilt=none&fd=2021-01-13&td=2021-05-08&tgp=2000&strict=incl&p1=8478420&p2=8477492&p3=0&p4=0&p5=0
He's a very good complimentary player, but he isn't able to drive play without an elite center. There are lots of guys like this: Nugent-Hopkins was a top-5 player in the league when he was moved to Draisaitl's wing last year, if he played there 90% of the time his stats would look better than Rantanen's for sure. But he struggles to create offense when he's the #1 guy on his line, and so isn't worth $9M+ IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>Ken holland would trade a first for a goalie if it was a good goalie. I think it will be tough to get one on free agency because of the reputation of having terrible defence in Edmonton. Ken holland also would take this years 1st rounder and trade down for an early second and late third. Then if he can select a goalie with that second that’s what he will do. If not he’ll probably trade down again. I’m only saying they will pick a goalie because Sebastian Cossa the Edmonton Oil kings all star goalie is slated to go mid second round.</div></div>
I could see Holland trading the 1st for later 1st and a 2nd and then using that 2nd to select a goalie, but that isn't the same thing as picking a goalie in the 1st round or trading a 1st for a goalie.
A perfectly competent goalie like Raanta will be available in free agency for a reasonable rate. Guys like Elliot, Andersen, Rinne, Dubnyk, Grubauer, Halak, Driedger and Reimer may also be available and likely can play 1A/1B effectively, and if you want to go all-in on a starter maybe Binnington makes it to free agency.

Draisaitl's GF% is better without McDavid. Over the past 75 games Draisaitl sports a 50.00 GF% with McDavid and 58.46% without.
