It gives you an idea of who should play more/less.

If Reinhart scores 10 goals in a season but plays 18 minutes a night, he's actually producing less relative to his ice time, than a guy who scores 10 goals, playing 10 minutes a night.

Bennett looks like he's having a terrible year, but the nuance is that he's playing 3rd line minutes with little PP time. And that shows in the numbers

- sbroads24


I don't think Bennett is better right now by any stretch, but some of it is opportunity. He doesn't get the special teams minutes the other 2 get.

at 5 on 4 (PP) Points per 60

Draisaitl - 7.64 (141 minutes)
Reinhart 4.61 (156 minutes)
Bennett 2.36 (He's only played 76 PP minutes, waaay less than the other 2)


Looking at both these quotes, are Bennett's numbers bad because he's not getting PP time? His PP points per 60 seems to show he doesn't deserve any more PP time.

I think if we knew at the time that we were getting Eichel, we would have taken Draisatl. Reinhart had a higher upside and we desperately needed a #1 C. From what I remember, all the scouts had Reinhart/Bennett locked, with Draisaitl below them. We could use Draisaitl's toughness as an anchor on a solid 3rd line and on the wing when we need a goal
- jcragcrumple

I think it probably would have been Reinhart either way. Which is fine, he's good.

But that draft class is interesting to me. It was viewed as weak, and there have been some surprises in it

PP time, yes. 5 on 5 he isn't much different from Reinhart. Dras is better in both 5 on 5 and PP

He also doesn't have McD or Eichel on the PP with him.

for a depth club, I like the flames top 9 up front and top 4 d much better than the sabres or oilers

this d


risto and mccabe, murray inherited

bogo, murraqy overpaid for
kulikov, murray acquired
gorges, murray acquired
franson, murray acquired



I could go on about our goalies, but IMO they are serviceable with a decent d

I could go on about moulson and ennis, but moulson is buried on the 4th line and ennis is a non factor most of the time on the ir


we are 3 years in with the murray rebuild and the biggest weakness on this team is due to players murray brought in

agreed on everything but civil war that was great

Iron Man 3 was amazing for the first half and then went to complete garbage

Obviously Superman's not dead did anybody really care in the movie theater
He should be dead when he inhaled Kryptonite gas but that's just me lol

No comic book character ever dies and stays dead, not any of the well known ones anyway.

I can't imagine what people would say if DC did to one of their main villains what Marvel did to the Mandarin in Iron Man 3. WOW, was that an embarrassment.

They did something similar with Baron Zemo in Civil War.
