Thread: Most the jets would give for Monahan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>well if they dont look at past production, then why would you care about any stats at all? not sure what your point is with this sentence?

anyway, like i said, a tram acquiring would know that the reason he has not so great 5v5 numbers its because he has been playing mostly with bad players.

a team acquiring him would know that putting him not with ahl plugs would also make his productions and metrics go up too.

would be a good option for the second wave of pp too. you know if someone's injured he can be a decent option to replace on power play 1 too.

players on our second line playing with monahan would be lucky to be on a 4th line of a contender.</div></div>

Bad results with bad linemates ≠ good results with good linemates

The metrics say he’s actually declined since the Calgary trade.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>so if he plays with good player, his points dont count, but if he plays with bad players, then his points count?

Monahan has been playing with 4th liner on 5v5 most nights.</div></div>

“Playing with good players” is not the same as playing in scenarios where your team has more players on the ice than the opponent.

If he was leading a particularly good power play I’d give him credit. But he’s not, the habs PP is below average. His numbers come from quantity of time on the PP that he doesn’t get anywhere else

Or even if he was the generator on the power play. But he’s not. He’s the net front guy. Every highlight you see is him standing in front waiting for someone else on the powerplay to break the defense’s structure and leave him wide open in front of the goalie. It’s not a hard job. And it’s not one he’s particularly good at. But he stat pads there.

Like if I had to think of a way to try and artificially inflate a guys stats, sticking him netfront on the PP 4 minutes a night would be exactly what I’d do

Thread: MTL AND EDM COULD WORK ON A BLOCKBUSTER PER DREGER

Man the comps are there. Rittich, Korpi, Desmith, Adin hill. You could probably sell someone up to a 2nd with great negotiating skills, but the list of successful goalies who weren't good at either the KHL/AHL/NHL level until they were 26 isn't long. Best example is probably Rittich, who again didn't pan out into anything after 2 solid years in Calgary at age 26/27.

Robin Lehner at 1.1 million dollars, 28 years old, who had a 3rd place vezina finish the year before, was in the middle of a 6th place vezina campaign, and had a 7 year quality track record with 0 injury history at the time got a 2nd and a 5th

Kovy is a solid 3rd pairing dman who can handle sheltered 3rd pairing minutes. Teams are going to want that depth/injury insurance as either a 6/7D. But he doesn't have upside and he doesn't have a track record with bigger minutes, he's not going for that much.
