I 'm trying to show to you that the median/average/general "archetype" as you put it so weberian, does not mean that every player you put on ice will linearly have higher or lower stats every time, neither that it means they are a "bad" or "good" player. Excellent players have bad seasons. Good players have bad games. Mediocre players turn out to be the game's MVP. Low drafted players have put symbolic contributions in their clubs. Not every great scorer will score 5 goals in every game.

what does that even mean? good players make good plays. bad players can make good plays too. the former will make good plays regularily, which you can quantisize in some way.
> Excellent players have bad seasons.
true. statistical outliers exist.
>Good players have bad games
true. sample size usually fixes that.
>Mediocre players turn out to be the game's MVP.
so?
>Low drafted players have put symbolic contributions in their clubs.
what does draft position have to do with anything? what is a symbolic contribution?
>Not every great scorer will score 5 goals in every game.
this is true. no one ever claimed this is the only standard players are held against, but good players are good players because they contribute in any way (which is usually quantisizable. hence you can assume that someone who doesn't contribute in any sensible way is a bad player.)

>what does draft position have to do with anything?

why weere they drafted so low if they turned out to be landmark players for their clubs? Martin St. Louis, Datsyuk.

Statistics are a TOOL, not the be all-end all of interpretation. I don't have a problem with them, it's just that people like you think that everything can be quanticised.

>>77146645
because scouting is imperfect. because people develop differently. because there are a whole lot of environmental factors you can't consider or that are unknowns. because of bad luck. all that stuff happens.

yes, statistics are a tool. when you are drafting, they are probably all you have. that's why you want your tools to be as sharp as possible.
I don't think everything can be quantisized. I believe most of the significant things leading to the outcome of a hockey game can be quantisized. that's not even relevant here. that discussion essentially boils down to one question:

how are you a good player if you don't have a positive impact on anything your team does?

Don't give you's to greece. He's clearly just acting stupid to get attention he wants.

>>77146645
>Statistics are a TOOL, not the be all-end all of interpretation. I don't have a problem with them, it's just that people like you think that everything can be quanticised

you are correct

>>77146740
>because scouting is imperfect. because people develop differently. because there are a whole lot of environmental factors you can't consider or that are unknowns. because of bad luck. all that stuff happens.

true, it's good that you recognise that.


>how are you a good player if you don't have a positive impact on anything your team does?

you are,then, not considering that the Devils went shit this season. So you have to take it underconsideration when examining a player; compare him to the team, not the top dogs.

And don't you ever disrespect Miles "of" Wood, he'll fuck your team up come the next season, just wait.

but I'll bite and ask the next question.
why were the Devils shit? could it be because they don't have enough players making a positive impact? because many of the depth players didn't actually contribute anything to the teams success?

>>77146873
>why were the Devils shit

the only acceptable answer to this question is: because Bettman fucked them.

Rielly-Gardiner
Zaitsev-Hainsey
Marincin-Carrick
Dermott

Andersen
McElhinney

I honestly have no clue where Hyman will go because assuming Marleau gets paired with Matthews to tutor him to being a better playmaking centre there's no possible spot on the lineup since the LW spots are way too competitive since I don't see him beating out anyone but Martin but Martin fills a spot of being the "piss off" guy. Makes no sense why he got resigned for the money they gave him.
Also our defense is still shitty at least unless guys like Liljegren and Dermott turn out well.

there is literally no more comfy feeling than having a few beers with the lads in the park while watching qt.s walking by

>>77150252
Nobody in America drinks beers in the open. Unless it's a party, you don't go in the streets drinking a heineken and acting like hot shit

lmao, sorry m8, heineken is low-tier shit in europe, especially in austria

It's the stereotypical good but cheap beer. Jesus doesn't want us buying beer on Sundays, drinking in the park, or having fun with our friends on the sidewalk.

Kek, that's the most american sentence I've seen today, thanks for the laughs
Here in austria it's even the opposite
After sunday church people go to the "Kirchenwirt" (neares pub/restaurant at church) to grab a beer/wine/coffee or any other beverage of choice to socialice
This process is called "Frühshoppen" in german

We sure seem like a bunch of drunkards to you I guess

in montreal you can drink in parks as long as you have food and are clearly not doing it to be a public nuisance.

It's the absolute worst. The people turning 21 go through a huge period of drinking while underage people get fed an unreasonable amount of booze. Drinking isn't seen as social but a pure sin, especially in the south.

Jokinen is the veteran grinder that will go into the corners and get pucks in deep, he has the defensive accumen to allow McDavid and Puljujarvi to take some risks and wheel. McDavid is the 2nd best centre in he world with arguably the most skilled shooting winger to come out of europe since Ovechkin. Puljujarvi is essentially the footspeed of bure combined with the passing skill of Federov.

Sekera himself said he could be back in November.

Hopefully he is because otherwise its Simpson, Fayne or Auvitu in that #7 slot for a while.

>>77151369
Yeah but he won't be up to gamespeed right away. If he's healthy in November he won't be right until at least December

>>77151368
That first line is insanely good and extremely deep on centre spot considering you have Hanzal as a #3C behind Seguin and Spezza but after the 1st line the wingers look sub-par. Is there cap space of a bargain deal on one of Vanek, Iginla, Doan or Jagr?

Also you're over the 23 man limit so you'd have to send one of Shore, Flynn, Johns or Heiskanen down to a minor league.

>>77151368

If Benning is the real deal it probably won't be a rush to bring him back. Russell isn't going to provide any offense but perhaps Nurse can start moving the puck more like he did in Junior.
>There's finally a roster spot for le can't skate or score man

Just

>>77151398
ah shiat I've overseen the limit
Flynn to the minors then, Heiskanen should start with some NHL air

you're right, some good winger would be neet

>>77151421
thanks burger hero

>>77151432
The stars should win the central, but I like the defense and where it is. Maybe put heiskanen on the third pairing and trade out hamhuis. Besides that, the team can manage what it should do. Just don't get rid of faska. Ever

>>77151432

Truth
He needs to be pampered so he won't get injured again
The stars have some nice prospects except any decent goalies
Campbell is shit in texas, other ahl and echl goalies aren't good enough and the first round goalie they drafted too young

Hockey gods pls have mercy ;___;

At least your prospects are here in America. Sorokin fucked off and is staying in the KHL for a couple more years, and soderstrom is in the Swedish leagues. Only Gibson and gudlevskis are in the tank that are noticeable, and both are mediocre. I'm just glad we still have halak and greiss, who have been phenomenal

Good morn. Sucks to be up this early.

What player is going to regress the most this year?

>>77154397
Patrik Laine

>>77154397
Auston Matthews

>>77154397
clearly the player to regress the most will be Fleury.
He needs a competent defense in front of him, and he really won't have it.
Considering Vegas took the good later route instead of drafting and keeping the best possible players, I doubt he'll be a great player for Vegas.
Another player I see regressing will be Nylander.

Leafs would be lucky to make it past the 1st round let along all the way to the SCF.
Their defense is hella weak and it likely will take 2 years for them to get Liljegren and Dermott ready along with any other defensive prospects.
Also makes no sense why they aren't shopping JVR for good shot blocking defensemen when it seems Brown is likely to fill the 2nd line LW spot for the future. Hell they should be shopping him and Bozak unless they plan to keep Bozak and make him Captain or some shit.
