Thread: Helping other teams "buy out" defensemen with lower penalties.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Yeah. Sentimental value, I get it. But he starts 61% of his shifts in the offensive zone, playing with the Hawks' best guys, and they only get 54% of the shots that are taken when he's on the ice. But hey, at least he finally scored a goal this season. <a href="https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/k/keithdu01.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/k/keithdu01.html</a></div></div>

Asking for a Hall of Fame defenseman, a career 54% corsi guy (54% this year - not quite a shadow of his former self), two seasons removed from a Conn Smyth in exchange for a THIRTY SEVEN year old defenseman with a career 48% corsi (FOURTY-THREE PERCENT THIS YEAR!) is bold to say the very least. Then to not throw in any substantial sweeteners while asking for the Hawks to retain 2.5M for 5 years, essentially asking for 12.5 million dollars, borders on insanity.

Thread: Caps
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>I like the out of the box thinking in sending Carlson to a non-contender, and the realism in giving him an eight year deal, and I like that you got right handed guys on right defense, but Casey Nelson, at 25 years old, should be further along than he is. He plays 16 minutes a night, starts 60% of his shifts in the offensive zone, has a corsi of just 45% and has 3 points this season. I'm just not sure he'd get much more ice time with South Carolina. <a href="https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/n/nelsoca01.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/n/nelsoca01.html</a></div></div>

Just want to say, advanced analytics analysis like this are the best types of comments. Helps me understand the game better.
