Thread: Most Overrated player on each team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>olson_22</b></div><div>“Allows you to stop paying attention” how it in no way affects the way I watch hockey. What do you mean “think you know what you are talking about.” Tampa Colorado Vegas all headed by an analytics staff keep thinking that they don’t work. All successful teams use and have used analytics in there decision making. What makes you think stats don’t track puck retrieval, good dump ins and gap control. All of that is tracked as well. Well the eye test is useful and I love watching hockey. Stats only highten that enjoyment as you can see a players all around value. And where do you get the idea that Dougie is a bad d he’s great using both analytics and watching him.</div></div>

Dougie does not get the respect he deserves. People watch a player make 1 bad pass during the game and automatically think they are bad or something lol. Dougie plays great gap and has a great stick along with strong mobility for his size. People are just to lazy to further their knowledge about hockey so the typical response is to just call us nerds for looking at analytics. You're absolutely right as well that all the good teams have strong analytical departments and it clearly shows in their teams play. Like my favourite team is the Jets and they were terrible analytically last season except for Hellebuyck, and that was clearly backed up by the eye test, it was so hard to watch them this past season. The fact that so many people refuse the thought of expanding the understanding of the game is just beyond me.

Thread: Fair WPG trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>How? They are giving up the best goalie in the league, a first line winger/ elite goal scorer, and a first pairing offensive defenseman. Yes, we are giving up a top 5 player in the league, and a rental starting goaltender, and a decent second pairing guy, but this deal is easily worth it for the leafs to me.</div></div>

That is true that Hellebuyck was the best goalie in the league last year by a wide margin in fact. However, goalies are wildly inconsistent and prior to last season there was not that much difference between Freddy and Connor. Laine still has a lot of struggles and his shooting has gone down hill as of late. Pionk is a fantastic powerplay quarterback, but he is only ok at 5v5. Matthews is a top 5 C and still only 23.

Thread: One overrated player per team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>oilersguy</b></div><div>why does Leons defensive game matter when he puts up 50 goals and over 100 points, and the most overrated leaf is Nylander, but 100% agree with Kucherov most overrated player in the league 75-85 guy who plays on a crazy good team. and leon not being a 15 centre what are you talking about he is a top 5 player in the league</div></div>

Because defence is half the game dude. No matter which way you want to look at it. Everyone who doesn’t use analytics hates on them because they don’t understand them (idk know how because they are super easy to comprehend). In general, teams with some of the best analytics in the league are the best teams. Colorado, St. Louis(Stanley cup champions last year), Tampa bay (Stanley cup winners this year), and Carolina are good examples. I’m not saying Leon is bad because he is still really good, but if he was better in his own end then people would give him even more respect.

It really depends on how they construct their lineup in my opinion. I could see them doing really good or near the bottom. They are hit or miss
