Thread: Holl is here to stay
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>We’ll put together argument. I agree, d corps and goalies are good 🤞👍💪.
but I think ROR or Horvat or Toews or Jenner (although this one doubtful - see below) should play 3C. Our top 2 lines are very good to excellent as is; if we add a 3rd line (Kerf - ROR - Engvall for example) that can both match up with any opponent line and be a scoring threat, that’s the ticket imo. 4th line with Kampf as center is gold.
Serious, serious overpay for Jenner imo - he’s good but not great. That’s the price for an elite rental (elite rentals are super rare); we can find a 3C or 2W at much more reasonable price imo.</div></div>

Options are good to have!

Kampf has been playign 15 minutes a game and being put out almost only in defensive roles, against top players and winning his match ups almost every night. He is a true #3C. Holmstrom is showing his worth and I am happy with him as 4C.

I am sure if there were any struggles or a loosing streak, they would put the new addition as a 3c and go from there. I would personally just start them on 2 lw and see what happens.

Bunting-Matthews-Nylander have been a great line and Tavares-Marner have been great but they haven't be able to find someone to stick on their left wing.

But like I said I am sure they would try a few things with a ROR type of guy before the playoffs to see what works best.

And yes this is a lot for Jenner. I based my proposal off the Hagel trade from last year. It's not the same but similar. And they aren't the same player either and I understand that. But that was my starting point. I don't see Columbus considering trading him unless the package looked something like this.

Thread: Rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>I thought I was pretty respectful; a few chirps but justified imo given how truly poor thought and one sided out the trade proposals were.
Leafs are most popular team in the league so lots of opinions - and I often disagree with my fellow leaf fans. I’m sure Canuckles have loyal &amp; passionate fan base too, but there does seem to be a pretty consistent level delusion running through canuckle posts. The team is not that good, the players are not that good, and the prospects are not that good. Accept the rebuild and stop posting ridiculous trade scenarios where you fleece other teams, embrace reality</div></div>

K thats understandable, I just dont want people going after factors they cant control, chirping their deals is whatever, but going after where they live isnt. thanks for understanding

Thread: Who says no
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>Wait natural stattrick lets you compare players, 5v5 or pp or pk - great site for advanced metrics.
This year &amp; last Marner for the most part has the better numbers (CF%, FF%, HDCF%) xGA% is the same. Marner has also played &gt;2x the minutes on PK</div></div>

Natural stat trick is good for comparing individual stats like goals, assists, shots, shot attempts, etc. but it is very much NOT good for comparing on-ice statistics like corsi, xG, scoring chances, or anything else where quality of team has a major sway.

For on ice stats, you’re much better off using something GSVA from the athletic, RAPM from Evolving Hockey, or on-ice models from HockeyViz

These metrics identifies individual impact on on-ice metrics, rather than raw numbers which are heavily impacted by team mates.
