I see content in different places, but seldom see it here. I know this will sound archaic, but I don't have a Twitter account. Is that the only way to get the other content?

Who do you think has the most likely chance of turning in an elite season analytically among former "elite" dman in the NHL? (Karlsson, Doughty, Subban, OEL, Jones)
If OEL/Poolman (too notoriously bad analytics players) actually manage to succeed or tread water in their new roles/team, do you think yourself or your other analytical colleagues would put more emphasis on environmental factors in determining all consuming statistics like WAR? (I’m curious how heavily weighed environmental factors are right now and if they’re constantly updating how to account for these factors)

Where do you rank Crosby and Malkin out of all forwards. Feel like Malkin has fallen in most people’s rankings but Crosby hasn’t yet? Basically are these guys still the same players they were in 2016/17 or not
