Thread: Building challenge with McDavid
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>It's a really, really bad list.

<strong>Past 2 seasons combined, points:</strong>
1. Draisaitl: 215
2. McDavid: 213
3. Kucherov: 213
4. Kane: 194
5. MacKinnon: 192
7. Panarin: 182
8. Pastrnak: 176
10. Stamkos: 164
16. Ovechkin: 156
23. Crosby: 147

Draisaitl is #1 in the league, only 2 others are within 20 points. Somehow neither he nor Kucherov nor Kane made that list. Wow.

<strong>Past 2 seasons combined, goals:</strong>
1. Ovechkin: 99
2. Draisaitl: 93
3. Pastrnak: 86
4. Matthews: 84
6. MacKinnon: 76
7. McDavid: 75
9. Stamkos: 74
20. Panarin: 60
48. Crosby: 51

Draisaitl is a clear 2nd, behind only the greatest goal-scorer in the history of the league (era adjusted). "Superstar" Nathan MacKinnon lags by 17 (!) goals - that's nearly 20% fewer goals!! And he's among the best of the "superstars" listed.

<strong>Past 4 seasons combined, points:</strong>
1. McDavid: 421
2. Kucherov: 398
3. Draisaitl: 362
4. Kane: 359
5. Marchand: 357
6. MacKinnon: 342
7. Panarin: 338
8. Pastrnak: 326
9. Crosby: 325
12. Ovechkin: 312
25. Stamkos: 270

It's pretty funny to me that 4 of the top-5 scorers from the past 4 seasons didn't make the list of "superstars" that you're espousing. Once again, Kucherov and Draisaitl comes up looking great, ranking 2nd and 3rd in the world. If 4 season's isn't enough to establish a guy's cred, what is?

<strong>Past 4 seasons combined, goals:</strong>
1. Ovechkin: 181
2. Matthews: 158
3. Pastrnak: 155
4. Kucherov: 153
5. Draisaitl: 147
6. McDavid: 146
11. MacKinnon: 131
12. Crosby: 124
17. Panarin: 118
30. Stamkos: 110

So 3 of the top-5 goal scorers didn't make that list. Yikes.</div></div>
He definitely put too many goalies, still left Gibson off, and I dunno why Chara is on there. And yeah I agree just needs more forwards in general. Kucherov and Draisaitl definitely the worst snubs for forwards IMO.
But hey, I'm just playing within the rules :D

Thread: Jets offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Need another option at 2/3C, Little may not return, Wheeler is too old to be playing center, Copp doesn't produce enough to play 2C, Maurice won't give Roslovic a chance to play 2C and Lowry is terrible at hockey, period.
I think they should sign Haula if they can.</div></div>

I agree that a true second line center would help the team out immensely. Haula could be a good option if he's not too expensive.
However, I think Wheeler could honestly be at least a good stopgap next year if needed, whoever's playing wing there I think we need a playmaker which he definitely is, and he's fared well whenever he's played there the past two years. I also think Copp or Roslovic could be an option there at least for next year. I don't think this team is elite next year anyways, we might as well let the young guys develop more, and see if Roslovic is a top six option long term. By next summer Laine/Connor will have had three/four years of experience and at that point we might need to look for a long term option outside the organization.
I think we missed a huge chance with Trochek at the deadline though. 25, good contract with term and seems to be a good playmaker. I think he would have fit really well.
