Thread: Hmmm
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>I admit that it might have seemed that I was pumping his tyres a bit when I said that he was pacing 50 points, but that's a fact that he was doing that. You're also underestimating him if you think 6 points in 35 games is his normal pace. He's always been quite streaky but overall he's about a 0.5ppg player who plays an excellent two-way game.

In any case, note that in my earlier post relating to his value I said that a 2nd or 3rd (+ maybe a prospect) would be reasonably fair, which is reflective of the fact that he's a streaky 0.5ppg player, who I agree is ever so slightly overpaid. If he was a consistent 50 point forward I wouldn't think his value was that low, would I?</div></div>

He have been a 0,44 ppg career average that around 37-38 point in a 82 game season. With the salary that he carried on is value isn’t that high at all.
What value Paul Byron is having ? You got your answers there. Byron have had very similar stats in the past 5 season and have a a cheaper contract. A typical third line utility players. Morgan Geekie was pacing for 160 point this years but the fact that he was doiing it. Dont start with that bullcrap. Colorado fab are always picking on Drouin but in your logic he was on pace for 70 point this year before getting injured. Does that make him suddenly a 70 point players? I dont think so and Donskoi is not a 50 point players even if he look like it the 15 games Mackinnon carried him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Richard88</b></div><div>Donskoi is more than just a 3rd line "utility" player. He was pacing for over 50 points before he got injured this season, and looked very good with Kadri and Burakovsky on the 2nd line.

I don't envisage that Sakic will consider trading him so soon after signing him in UFA, it's just not Sakic's way of doing things. He tends to be meticulous and plan long-term, and also tends to honour contracts as much as possible. Moving a player 1 year into a 4 year contract doesn't seem like the type of move Sakic would make. That said, I could see it being a legitimate option in 2021 where Seattle ED is in play and after which we'll have had 2 seasons to assess his performance.

That said, I'm also curious what sort of value people think Donskoi has, so I'm glad <a href="/users/Kukas26" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Kukas26</a> asked the question. I think he's probably right that it's a 2nd + 3rd sort of deal, maybe with a prospect thrown in depending on how high the pick is.</div></div>

He was actually only good the time he spend on the first line with Mackinon. After Rantanen and Landeskog where back he actually have been returning to is former third line production. So yes he is a third line utility players. After he was put back on the second and third line he had 6 point in 35 games and had mostly been scoring is point with mackinon as a center. So dont gave me that bullshat. He have always been a third line utility players and he will continue to be that guys. Dale weise once was on pace for 40 goal after 20 games in 2015-16 season that doesn’t mean that he was donskoi had a very hot 15 games stretch but was himself for the reat of the season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Skyraider112</b></div><div>Vince Dunn had the highest Corsi % out of all St. Louis Blues players who played more than 60 games in the season. His Corsi was 55.5%. Pietro was 52.9%, Parayko was 40%, Faulk was 50.3%, Scandella was 49.3%. Not only that but he also had the highest Fenwick % (just a different calculation of Corsi). Indeed he did have the highest offensive zone starts out of all STL D men. He had the highest expected +/- also. What all this means is that when Vince Dunn is on the ice, the Blues play very well. He impacts the game more for his team offensively than any other D men on St Louis, that's what the stats show. And yes he is only getting 16 mins of TOI per game, but imagine if he got more (which he will), how much better would he look to the league? My guess is significantly. He is a very good top 4 D man. Regardless of what you are saying, you still vastly underpaid for a player that you threw on the top pair in Montreal. Would cost Armia/Lehkonen, 2020 2nd, and another piece for the value to be fair. Also you would have to pay him at least 1.5 mil more</div></div>

Getting more minutes means facing toughest opponent. Regardless of what you are saying he doesn’t hold that much value in a cap dump trade. And he is a very good top 4 dman who haven’t played in that role once in is career yet? You can proclaim yourself the President of United state just because you like so. Dunn have been a bottom pairing defenseman for is entired career, that might change but that what he have been. End of discussion
