This is why i think the big move on D should be a righty shot. Imagine being able to roll 2 pairs with some sort of consistency. Have one relied on for defence the other for offence? Reduced minutes alone would be helpful.

Last blog i posted a 5v5 shot differential chart for the season to date. you can actually see the moment where McCabe and Risto burned out

We all knew it was coming. It's amazing Ristolainen lasts as long as he does playing the minutes he does.

How about:

Anaheim: Kane, Girgs
Buffalo: Fowler, Montour, Theodore, Ana 1st round pick.

That would be a great haul for us and solidify our D.

They're just going to give us 3 d-men and a first? all we added there is girgs

Kane-Theodore or Montour is a good enough starting point

100 percent agreed. I think the movement in baseball is what sparked it here but it's really in the infancy stage at this point. It's funny, i really try to go out of my way to stop calling it "puck possession" because its literal form, the stat measuring it is literally the exact opposite.

Ive been meaning to test out a few of my own and my buddies stats this year just havent found enough time to work on it. The breakdowns would be far more specific as it'd be team based.

I used to be big into horse racing and if you want to have any chance at winning, you have to be willing to dive so deeply into statistical minutiae that it almost burns your retinas at a certain point.

To do the advanced stats properly, it would take one person almost an entire work day to watch one game.

I could care less what any player's underlying numbers are, really, because I watch the game to be entertained and not as a statistical entity that I must breakdown.

If I were to look at as a statistical entity that must be broken down, every game would take me roughly 5 hours to watch, or more.

Yes, it is taken to an extreme, but if I want a stat, I want it to be as accurate as possible and not be a sort of more defined generality which is what many seem to be.

similar to going grocery shopping and taking 4hrs cause your reading the labels for ingredients that the internet said was questionably bad for you. Instead of grabbing what you want cause it tastes good.

It's great to dream but I swore I saw Anaheim was also giving Buffalo the kitchen sink in that deal as well!

Umm....

It would be more like Kane, Girgs Buffalo's first and Bailey (plus more maybe) to get Fowler Theodore and Montour

I'm chubbed.

idk, I would've traded Kane for whatever they could get in the Summer, now I want to keep him around. Petey mentioned some Kane trade on the Instigators. I didn't get to hear for what

Worried ?

Kane alone is worth more than both of those 2 put together IMO. We gave up alot to get Kane in the first place.

They got D-men up the yin yang. They can't sign all of them. They need offensive help. We need Defensive help.

To me, it's a win win scenario.

Theodore is a 1st rounder -15 and montour is a 2nd .
Both don't seem to have decent stats . Can't say Ive seen them play.

What confuses me is the ducks are a budget team.. Trading an ELC for a 5+ mill guy with only 1 year left

Rumour is they want an ELC player back for him according to dregs/twitter so this may be much ado about nothing

Of course. But that's why basic goals+assists and plus/minus can be incredibly misleading sometimes.

If you don't care about them, than its not worth discussing. It will lead you down a rabbit hole.

To be fair, most teams pay good money for stat guys. It isn't a hobby. This is info teams pay $$ for
