<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Plan A is ideal (signing landeskog if he’s available) but suter is going to be too expensive and the isles shouldn’t be giving out P.Bonuses to older players. McCabe/kulikov would be good options for 2LD, if they sign Merrill then Greene can’t play. You can’t have 2 out of your 3 LHD be offensive blackholes.

Plan B makes sense only if they don’t have to give up like a 2nd and STL retains 50% of his salary. It’s a huge risk.</div></div>

I think Lou has to have clean medicals for Plan B. Or our doctors give the green light. Probably doesn't make the deal without it. Forgot about McCabe, yes he could be a nice option there. I feel like Suter is the long shot to come here just because he will have more options than most of the UFA market, but he could be a great minute eater and improved partner for Dobson who should make a jump into the top-4

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>Over the last 3 seasons McCann is slightly above average at driving offense but he’s a great finisher. He’s in the 92nd percentile at driving play defensively. G/60 stands for goals per 60 minutes so he scored at a higher rate than 62% of forwards over the last 3 seasons.</div></div>

Important to note that the data is weighted average, as well. I don't follow or subscribe to JFresh, but I'm assuming a significant factor in determining the importance of certain numbers is the recency (as it should be). In the comparison of McCann to Kerfoot, that's likely to tip the scales a little more than what's realistic - Kerfoot having had a terrible year, McCann a great one. We're likely to see a regression both ways with those two. I'd still much prefer to keep McCann for a number of reasons.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Isles777</b></div><div>But McCann is the better player and it’s not close. Considering Seattle hired a high end analytics team, the choice will definitely be McCann unless Dubas gives up high draft picks</div></div>

True. I think its either Kerfoot and a 3rd going to Seattle, or Kerfoot and Liligren going. Kerfoot would be nice as if it does not work out Seattle can flip him for value as both this season and next season only owed 750k.

Heck maybe neither and Seattle shocks everyone and takes Hyman. Then goes cheaper elsewhere. Friedman did say Francis has inquired and Seattle was one of the teams next to Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary who was a frontrunner. Like Hakstol probs going "Francis get Hyman trust me"
