What are your opinions on having defensemen playing strictly on their own side (LD, RD), and how important is it really? How much does it show in analytics when a player is played on his off-side? And the most important question, will you be getting NHL 21? Cheers.
What do you think are the main priorities for Boston? I think it should be a retool of the scoring depth, but also we're probably not going to get Krug back, so finding somebody who can fill his role is also pretty important.
I'd love to hear how much you think the Habs overpaid for signing Josh Anderson. And how much of the overpaying do you think is inevitable due to the tax situation in Quebec? Is there a way to quantify how much better/worse a place is--i.e. Tampa vs. Montreal (no state income tax in Florida, for example).
How good were guys like Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Marty St. Louis in their best seasons of the analytics era? Would be fun to hear your thoughts on them.
Would you rank them as literally top 3 in the league in their best seasons? Anything fun or weird that stands out about them?
If you're TBL's GM what is the threshold price wise at which you don't match a potential offer sheet for Sergachev (i.e what's the max you're willing to pay him)?
Many avs fans think a 3C is needed to be added this offseason. As a big Tyson Jost fan, I think his age, projected contract, and underlying numbers say he should be the obvious choice to be given the reigns. What do you think about Jost? Is there a better value to be had at 3C?
Oh one more that I know you cant know the answer to but do you have a hunch any historical players had terrible advanced stats or were underrated for impact? Like do you think Doug Harvey was a real Drew Doughty in his late 20s?
Hi, I was looking at Moneypuck yesterday, and Henrik Lundqvist was 11th in the league at 5v5 save % above expected. Georgiev for comparison sake was 23rd. Where Hank struggled this past year was on the PK (same with last year) which really dragged his numbers down. I then looked at the hockeyviz isolated charts and when Hank was playing, the Rangers PK Defense was a shocking 42% worse than the league average. When he wasn't on the ice it was a still comical 25%. Do you have any feel as to why Hank has generally been fine at 5v5 but has gotten dragged on the PK. And seeing that he performed so much better than Holtby last year, what kind of boost would we see for the capitals?
How should teams like Ottawa best weaponize their cap here on out? Do you think only trading one of their picks for assets (Matt Murray) during/prior to the draft was a failure?
Should Calgary have targeted Max Domi? if Josh Anderson got a Domi and a 3rd I feel like Calgary could have got Domi and maybe a 2nd for Monahan. Any other thoughts on how Calgary can break away from mediocrity?
After Niskanen's retirement, do you think Pietrangelo is a possibility for the Flyers if they manage to move some cap (eg. Ghost or JVR)?
There have been plenty of rumors about Laine to Philly, but he's likely gonna cost too much unless Winnipeg is willing to sell low. What sort of package would get the trade done? I assume it starts with Sanheim or Myers.
What did you think of the Donato / Dubnyk trade to San Jose? Similarly, any free agent targets for the Sharks?
