Yeah I agree that Green had no choice. But making your NHL debut against a red hot team that happens to be a division leader is not a fun way to start. I think that Green should have recalled Leighton instead. He has NHL experience as a starter and wouldn’t have suffered as badly. DiPietro is still our future backup/starter, but he has at least 2 years to go before he should play in the NHL.

Thread: Toronto
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PenGoater99</b></div><div>Your argument loses all value when you bring up +/-, it's the most useless stat ever, and using points to evaluate a defender may be even dumber. I'll admit that Murphy plays tough minutes, but if he's so good, shouldn't he excel in said minutes? Shouldn't he post a better xGA in the 35th percentile? Shouldn't his high PDO correlate to somewhat better results? Murphy isn't that good, there's no other way to look at it.</div></div>

You're clearly not watching games. Murphy has been pretty clearly a shut down guy for the Hawks. I'm not an advocate whatsoever to give him up. From the last 100 games he's played versus the last 30 games he's played, it's night and day difference in his ability. And yes, +/- is an important stat as it relates to defenders with more focus on the minus side. He's a solid 2nd liner for all but the best defensive teams in the league, and guess what, TOR is hardly one of those top defensive teams. They could use him in spades especially on the right side hands down. Now whether you think the trade is fair is a different story but to say Murphy isn't that good is simply ignorance.
