Thread: Petry gets us
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>but what they’re most worried about are those final years when he’ll be 34-38, which are literally the only years they’re getting with petry</div></div>

Klingberg is more one dimensional than Petry. Habs fans arent forgetting about Petry's age but the fact a lot of other fan bases don't know the players current trajectory. Look at his best seasons, all in his 30s.

They are countless examples of players being elite in their late 30s, you can start on the same team, Shea Weber then go to Zdeno Chara, hell, Kris Letang just had career high across the board at 35 years of age.

We are dealing with the information we have at hand. Petry had a terrible early season where the whole team struggled. Then finished strong with a 56 point pace in his last 30 games, same production the last 5 years. Nothing says he's declining except conjecture.

Thread: Whats with all the Chiarot hype
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>habs1289</b></div><div>Analytics have nothing to do with how a defensive player plays the gap on an opposing player or how efficient they are at wearing down opposing players in the corner or in front of the net which is worth something to actual nhl coaches and GMs come playoff time .. I’m not saying he’s worth a first and a prospect but he’s definitely worrh a first to a contending team or a 2nd and a B prospect</div></div>

Ok but my point is, if they don't play a good gap consistently, it isn't measured as a stat but it will show up in the form of goals against, expected goals against, penalty differential, etc. Not many guys can get away with poor play from the eye test and good analytics, the results add up over time. FWIW a 2nd round pick at the deadline would be pretty reasonable given the decisions we see NHL GMs make all the time. I hate all the 1st + chatter but it isn't going anywhere when you've got media guys pumping the tires.
