Thread: Colorado Avalanche signed Samuel Girard (7 Years / $5,000,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ninetythreein93</b></div><div>This is the new NHL $5M*7 for potential.

Girard still hasn't proven he's more than a 2nd pairing guy, his possession stats are below average despite high offensive zone starts, he doesn't hit, he had more giveaways than any D other than Cole and tied for 68th among Dmen scoring overall &amp; 89th among NHL D in even strength scoring. There is a decent chance he becomes a left handed Tyson Barrie but just as much of a chance he becomes a left handed Troy Stetcher, though actually Stetcher has better possession numbers and hits more.

I'm not saying this is a bad signing but I wouldn't be high fiving either were I a Colorado fan</div></div>

im high fiving now

Thread: The Best Possession Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Its not relative to one player (or line), but to a whole team</div></div>

Exactly, guys like Jost/Nichushkin have low (and even negative) relative corsi despite having 57.4% and 61.8% CF% at even strength because they take more defensive matchups for their team and the team as a whole has good possession numbers. Meanwhile guys on DET (and former DET players) like Hronek and Mantha have high relative corsi even with only 50.1% and 49.6% CF% at even strength because they take more offensive minutes and the rest of their teammates have/had bad possesion numbers.

Makes no sense to make it relative to their team (especially when different teams have drastically different baseline averages that you are comparing to) instead of being relative to a replacement level player like other stats like WAR tries to do

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>so it does smooth out most of the situational noise. </div></div>

Thats the opposite of what it does. making it relative to the whole team exaggerates the effects of a certain player who takes significantly more offensive or defensive minutes relative to his teammates. It may average out for players who get balanced minutes relative to their teams, but for guys like Yandle who have crazy high oZS% relative to his team it makes a huge difference when you compare his CF% when on the ice to when hes off the ice when the team generally uses players like Gudas in those defensive situations more often.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>And all but 5 of these guys are on playoff teams, so 'top players on bad team' is not really fitting.</div></div>

Doesnt have to be a bad team, just "bad depth", or very unbalanced teams like EDM where there is a huge skill/usage difference between McDavid/Drai and their bottom 6. Obviously McDavid and Draisaitl are going to have high relative corsi numbers when you compare them to guys like Gaetan Haas and Zack Kassian. The effects of McDavid and Drai's possession is very exaggerated since it is being compared to a much lower standard than guys like Svechnikov who play on much deeper teams

Thread: Ver 6 Trading Hughes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CptMuffin</b></div><div>Normally yeah. But his team is losing a defenceman to Seattle no matter what and every team will know this. Try to leverage that and pay more than what others would. I doubt anyone is giving up 2 seconds for him this summer. Or Sakic will be paying some kind of premium to get Seattle to take someone else.</div></div>

So you think COL will sell Toews for pennies on the dollar and then also lose another player to Seattle? Thats the worst possible outcome for the Avs. Not to mention Toews wouldnt even be the one going, it would be Graves if anything. EJ can either waive his NMC or be bought out cause Sakic will make sure Makar, Girard, and Toews are all staying long term. SEA can take one of Graves/Donskoi/Compher/Francouz and move on
