Thread: Next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jfrojelin</b></div><div>That silly american sport knows how to run a league... but I digress. I think in fact you're overvaluing a bottom pairing defenseman... because they are in fact a bottom pairing. IN FACT, not even a bottom pairing guy, it wasn't until rumors of a trade request that this player played in this season. Additionally, you are just wrong. If you would read (if possible) this article https://dobberprospects.com/2020/05/16/nhl-draft-pick-probabilities/ you would see it is a 22% chance a player selected in the 4th making the league, basically 1/5. 22% is not 3%</div></div>

I'll give you the exaggeration, but it's roughly a 12% chance to be an impact player after the 2nd round [ https://oilersnation.com/2020/10/05/has-nhl-drafting-improved/ ] "impact" being someone who plays 100+ games in the NHL. There's a big difference between that and and the many players who play an NHL game and then move their career elsewhere. Plus, the difference is even more pronounced in recent years -- drafting has considerably improved. It's why 1st round picks are now nearly unmovable and 2nds are the new premium. Just look at the 4th rounds in the past decade, Mete is a standout. [ https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl-draft/en/round/4-round-draft-picks-active-players-all-time-games-played-leaders.html ]. He's already played 170 games at his age, with a 750K cap hit. I'm not saying he's a consequential player, but he can slot as a 5th-6th D in any team. So why would any team consider moving him for a 4th? So you can hope to be lucky and draft Mete 2.0....

And yes it is silly, they totally ****ized rugby. I mean... They're on grass, why do they need protective gear :awesome

Thread: whos Seattle taking
SEA will take Weber if you expose him... It's not like he's disappointed expectations, he's been roughly on the same point production his whole career. They'd immediately cement their veteran presence and captaincy. Also, cap won't be an issue for SEA upon entry. I think people are overthinking his salary. The term is not ideal (that's NSH's problem), but 7.8M is not that bad. I feel like people think 5M+ is considered a lot, without considering the exponential factor of higher salary. There's a hell of a difference between say Weber's cap hit and Doughty's cap hit at 11M. You totally draft Weber, even if you think he'll regress after one season.

I'd agree Evans is currently playing his way to protection. But then, I would think Lehkonen would become the most attractive pick for SEA
