Thread: 420 Wishlist for the season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NMAvsFan</b></div><div>How do you figure he's worse defensively? His possession stats are better than JTC, especially his Corsi and Fenwick Relative rates and Devo is better on the dot (not a major stat IMO but he is better at FO's). Their deployment, usage and TOI are pretty similar, too, so it's a good comparison but Devo has played on horrible teams his entire career while JTC has been on a team on the rise for the majority of his - he gets to play with much better players. The health thing is an issue with Devo so that's a fair point - availability is a great ability. Ultimately, though, it doesn't matter to me because I don't think this is the kind of player the Avs would be looking for.</div></div>

That's my bad, I misread the advanced metrics. I stand corrected. Agreed on your last point, I don't see him as a target for the Avs.

Thread: Kadri Walks
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Knuckl3s</b></div><div>I agree, Girard's value is still fairly high, but he's small in stature, and bigger body defenseman seem to be the rage of today's defense market. I mean, after he got flatlined by Barbashev in the 2nd round, I have to believe at least some team's are looking at that. Not to mention, there were rumors that Avs management were frustrated he got pushed around in the Vegas series two post-seasons ago</div></div>

And if that's what GMs want to value then that's fine, but Girard's possession metrics are better than loads of bigger body guys. Just compare his stats with a guy like Seth Jones, it's absurd. Outside of size, they're extremely similar players and you can have Girard for $4m less. As for the Barbashev hit, it was no doubt unfortunate, but I don't think you can fault him for that.
