Thread: Playoff Push
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dannibalcorpse</b></div><div>Scott Wheeler at the Athletic has Abramov ranked at #8 and Holmberg as #14 in the TML pipeline, in a group or 10 or so prospects that he describes this way: "The third wide group is full of B grade players where if you can turn a strong minority into NHL players that’s a success. "

Abramov &amp; Holmberg aren't slam dunk prospects, but I think giving them both up &amp; a 2nd rounder for 25 games of Max Domi is a big price to pay. Domi's got one 72 point season 3 years ago and a bunch of years where he's played at a 40-50 point pace. I honestly think if you're giving up that package you can get a more impactful player.</div></div>

So #8 and #14 in a weak prospect pipeline? Yeah, I would trade that and a 2nd for Max Domi. Every single day.

Thread: A New Defense for Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>well for one, you can look up the numbers he uses yourself. they are publicly available and they all paint Risto as trash. You can also look up what these stats are and what they measure yourself too.
as far as the rest of the questions, you re just trying really really hard to dismiss something you clearly havent put an ounce of personal research into just because you dont wanna and it makes players you like look bad.
I am not going to do your homework for you, if you want a crash course in analytics that's on you.
At the end of the day, literally every person who understands analytics and looks at his numbers agrees that Risto (and chariot and other big slow bad defenders etc) are not good at defence because they do not limit shots, chances or goals against, they dont clear the puck out of the zone, they dont intercept high danger plays etc etc etc.
And the eye test backs all this up if you watch for anything that isnt a hit or a crosscheck</div></div>

I guess Montreal didn't just school Leafs in the playoffs with Chiarot and Weber top pairing shutting down Matthews and Marner...
