Thread: Jeez If Jones Got That
numbers aren't always what you need to look at.... do the players make other players around them better? how hard is the shot and accuracy. Leafs fans love to over value their players and under value others. If you were to ask me Toronto doesn't have one top D man on their team. Its a 3 man team so far with AM, MM and Ny. I dont even think Captain is top 20 players in the NHL now a days. Its a good team but the team needs to stick like a glue and they haven't shown that. Just juggling players wont do much.... they need a difference maker. I THINK! good luck to them.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PhillyDip123</b></div><div>That return is insane for Jones, he’s a very good D, and he does get the RD bonus money, but Reilly has done much more with much worse partners.

Even their +/- (which I’m using as a very very rough outline of defensive effectiveness) is within 10 points of each other. From the draft they were both in. With very similar # of games. If you didn’t see the name in their stats you might get them mixed up.

Jones is straight up not as good as Reilly (but it’s close) - I think it’s the 30+ mins he was on the ice a couple of years ago that got everyone so hot and bothered, thinking he’s a Hamilton level player. He’s a 1D, for sure, but he’s not an elite elite D (Reilly isn’t either. The blackhawks super overpaid.)</div></div>

Thread: Playoff built
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>At under 13 minutes per game 5v5 and a bias towards offensive zone starts, I don't find any of that to be particularly surprising. Perhaps better than anticipated, but to tell me that Toronto doesn't have the best set of forwards in the North division would be folly. His relative rates suggest he's middle of the pack in terms of Toronto's defenders and that he's been a very good value add for this season, but I have concerns regarding his age, injury history, and how this season was his least-productive season that wasn't prematurely ended due to injury.

I think he makes a better #7 than he does a full-time roster player, especially if it means further delaying Liljegren from meaningful minutes.</div></div>


I think your understanding of hockey knowledge is great. I also love how respectful you are about giving your input as well. thank you.
