Thread: Taking some ideas from yall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McRanteskog</b></div><div>Hmmm curious on the Lundqvist part.
If you are going to retain 3.5mil then take on Hartman at 1.9mil (5.4mil total) you are only saving 100k in opposed to just flat out buying Lundqvist out for 5.5mil.
Is Hartman a piece of interest to you?</div></div>

I mean given the choice of netting a player with team control who has a positive on-ice value vs. Not netting a player AND having 1.5 in cap commitment next season in the case of a buyout. I'd say a trade is objectively the better option.

I wouldn't say Hartman necessarily is a player of interest as much as it's "bottom 6 or bottom pair options with positive on-ice value". I think the amount of teams that would be a) interested in pursuing Lundqvist, and b) have such a player on their roster that they'd deem expendable enough to trade for Lundqvist makes the options kinda limited.

I think Hartman in that case works really well.

Thread: Would hiring Laviolette as an assistant coach be a smart move for us
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>Why? Care to elaborate a bit?</div></div>

Sure, Runs a very strict dump/chase system which tends to really hurt his team's offensive output. His isolated coaching metrics are above (the top part is offense, you want that to be positive, the bottom is defense you want that to be negative). So overall, his net effect as a coach is a negative impact on his team.

In terms of defensive assistant coaches. Ryan Warsofsky (Carolina's AHL head coach, whose brother was coached by Quinn at BU) is a great option. John Davidson has an extensive relationship with Brad Shaw who runs the D in Columbus (and coached under JD in STL as well). JD also has a strong relationship with Todd Richards who runs the Defense in Tampa, he was hired to be the CBJ head coach by JD.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McRanteskog</b></div><div>Ladies and Gents, weve got another one.
So lost in the sauce of all these advanced numbers that they miss the glaring ones right infront of their eyes.
Listen, there are 30 other NHL teams with scouts and analytics guys, let me know how many of them are running to NYR to pickup the godly netminder who is Lundqvist.

You seem to be the type of guy to say that St Louis wasnt the best team last year because their Fenwick and Corsi wasnt superior to their opponent lol</div></div>

Trying to say that "not all shots are the same" and "hey maybe a point blank save is more impressive than a save on an unscreened shot from the point" is lost in the sauce?

It's like you don't watch the games,,,,, lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>McRanteskog</b></div><div>What are you smoking?
You ARE more clueless then you seem.

Lundqvist 30gp / .905 sv% / 3.16 GAA 10W-12L-3OT
Grubauer 36gp / .916 sv% / 2.63 GAA 18W-12L-4OT
Francouz 34gp / .923 sv% / 2.41 GAA 21W-7L-4OT

Lundqvist put up a weaker save %, GAA and W/L ratio. Not to mention they make 3.33mil and 950k compared to Hanks 8.5mil.
Very funny how your "advanced stats" are missing the key ones (ie. sv % and GAA), you dont even understand the numbers you are copying and pasting LOL</div></div>


.... ooof this kinda idiocy is the stuff that gets you added to the ignore list.

The reason for these numbers is that they account for shot quality. Sv% and GAA treats all shots as equal, but obviously you're aware that not all shots are equal. Hence why most analysts use Goals Saved Above Expected as the foundation for evaluating goaltenders. It's the best way to measure a goalie <em>relative to the defense in front of them </em>. If you're wondering why Henrik's figure is superior to Colorado's goaltending, that's why.

Not sure why you're quoting team stats though. You seem like the sort of person who'd prefer Brodeur over Hasek lol.
