Thread: Heres What Jake Allen Is Really Worth
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Capitalfail67</b></div><div>Fluerys cap hit was 7million...? Allen had a few teams interested in him and they took the best offer. Hawks got a 2nd maybe even a 1st for Fluery at the deadline. not really the same imo Allen makes less than 3m..</div></div>

allen had a 4 million salary back then when he was traded. and even though a few teams were interested, st-louis had no leverage cause they needed to shed cap, same with fleury. all im trying to say is you cant compare the price you bought someone to guess their future price of a trade, because context matter so much. allen price is probably more than what it was even though is stats are worse, because his caphit is lower now and montreal have more leverage than st-louis had. (im not saying he will get a return close to what fleury got if he was traded though).

Thread: Who would you rather Ranger fans Rakell or Lehkonen
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Not so clear cut imo. Lehkonen is producing at a higher rate with an average of 4 minutes less ice time.

If you're hoping to get 24 year old Rakell and lock him up for cheap before he returns to 70 point production, maybe.</div></div>

We're talking simply skill and ability here. Lehkonen is putting up the best season of his career and its barely a 40 point season. Rakell has been producing 40 points on avg every year. Rakell is the better scoring player, that's not debatable but as we know there's more to winning than just scoring. So it really depends on what is needed more. Flat out offensive production or all round play. Each guy brings something different.

Thread: A New Defense for Playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>Amazing the narrative you can build when you ignore many of these teams eliminating each other or the fact that even teams that make it deep and may or may not love analytics have great analytics.</div></div>

Amazing how you can take literal facts and spin them to your narrative ignoring what you JUST said. You said all the BEST teams love analytics. Not anything about top playoff performers having great analytics. That is NOT even close to the same thing. My point is that teams that use more traditional methods of building a roster still have 2/3 better odds of making the Stanley Cup Final than those who used analytics and that is just taking into account the 15 teams that made the last 5 conference finals. Playoff success has very little to do with using analytics to build your roster, in fact the opposite is true in that more successful playoff teams use traditional methods to build their rosters. It's fine to use analytics to help identify which players you want to have a closer look at but you still have to use some of the more traditional methods to evaluate those players. Some things like determination, strength on the puck, upper body strength, willingness to drive the net, checking, shotblocking, hockey IQ, positioning and balance among others can not be quantified in the analytics data. It's one of the main reasons why the NHL holds the combine and individual teams also hold their own.
