Thread: Loading up the lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mayb81</b></div><div>To be fair, he hasn’t exactly had the best line mates on the third line. I think last time he was playing with Khaira and Gagner. I’m not saying Benson and Kassian are all stars but there an improvement. Plus you could always move the wingers up and down the lines or move Nuge back with Draisaitl. It’s not like these will be the lines for an entire season. I just like the idea of 3 great offensive lines.</div></div>

He had Eberle and Pouliot in the 16-17 playoffs. Sure, Pouliot had a complete offensive collapse but Eberle was still a decent scorer and they had a offensive collapse. Not to mention, this is with two centred lines above him that are going to get 20+ mins a night (I’d prefer them to be in the 18-20 min range as I believe their offensive ability isn’t hurt but Tippett won’t do that). He’d be getting in the range of 10-12 minutes a night, which would almost kill his 5on5 offensive game completely. Take the forward line 3 and 4 more as a 4a-4b combination and less of a 3 scoring lines system.

Thread: Best current players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jsjt19ms13</b></div><div>how am i being a homer to price and crosby? how is it possible to be a homer to both of them, you said mack and connor are way ahead which is ridiculous, the gap in offense between sid and connor is alot smaller than their gap in d, crosby was 4th in selke votes last year and has been top 10 the last few, mcdavid hasnt been close</div></div>
Could be a maritimer, and I’d assume that’s probably a pretty good guess. I admit that my “way better” was pretty dumb, as for Mackinnon it’s pretty obvious that he’s a fairway ahead. Though but I do think it’s funny that Mcdavid was not far behind in the Selke race in 16-17 and was on 17 spots in difference in 17-18 and it would’ve been a lot closer if Chiarelli wasn’t clueless.

Thread: Best current players
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>eliran</b></div><div>LOL you didn't make any argument, all you said was that he has better metrics and couldn't even prove that with numbers. Fact is going into a playoff series in order to win the cup today, I'd take Crosby over McDavid, meaning he is better than McDavid today.</div></div>
I don’t like bringing up stats because it’s a decent amount of work without evolvinghockey.
Corsi Relative (5 on 5); Crosby: 2.6 Mcdavid: 1.7 down year for both (more so for Crosby).

Takeaway Giveaway rates (5on5) Crosby: 0
Mcdavid: -9 very down year for Mcdavid, relatively stagnant year for Crosby but I’m being lenient there.

PDO (5on5): Crosby: 98.6 Mcdavid: 102.0 down year for Crosby, Stagnant for Mcdavid

Zone starts offensive and defensive (5on5): Mcdavid 56.6 O 43.6D Crosby: 63.5O 36.5D
Crosby up year slightly, Mcdavid stagnant.

PPG (5on5): Crosby: 0.66 Mcdavid: 0.81

If you don’t understand the stats look them up, Crosby is better than Mcdavid defensively but Mcdavid is better offensively but it’s not by much.
