Yea it would be nice to have someone who can take them and win more. My whole point in this argument is if one player is clearly better than the other I am not going to pass on him cause he is not as good on faceoffs.

Back to the "A good center should win more faceoffs than he loses" argument.

Is Messier still sour after the head coaching snub?
- JRR1285

Good question, haven't seen or heard from him since that happened.
Or since Drury is being groomed for GM.

There's also a difference between a "center" that is in the upper 40's % wise compared to an abysmal one in the 30's. Is the guy in the 30's (Chytil) really a center?

Max Domi is hovering around 50%, I like him from a perspective that he could improve. Chytil is better off at the wing at this point. He hasn't cracked 40% at the NHL level.

I think you misread my whole argument...I am saying don't give up on people because they aren't good on faceoffs

If a player is just under 50% of faceoffs, is that adequate if he puts up other numbers?

Asking for a friend.

I really hope that Chytil can become a decent center, he might end up as a winger if he can't improve. I say there's nowhere to go but up if he works at it.
Kinda like the Boyle Paradigm.

Brian Boyle did have one season in the 30's and it was his third. I guess there is hope but Chytil just doesn't inspire confidence for me with taking draws.

Good morning.

Haven't seen that one. Sounds like setting someone up with,"Don't get mad, but..."

I remember you posted a list the other day, so I'll put myself out there.

Amazing, especially coupled with Absolutely, and the emphasis on the "m". Makes me see red. I can usually let the Literally and Figuratively slide, but not that.

"I had an a'm'azing bagel." Really? What was so amazing about it? Did it cut itself in half and butter itself? No, it did not. Try another adjective. Tasty? Delicious?

Rant over, expecting every post to include one of those words from now on.

I do like Domi and think he would be a good fit here, well, just about any team really. Comes down to who will pay the most for him.
