Is it you doing your best NuckUp impersonation?

Math is old. Applying math to modern things is antiquated or old fashioned? Seems pretty ignorant if you’re being serious 😵‍💫

Don't know why you would limit yourself to one type of thinking pr another, definitely seems antiquated to do so.

Seth Jones was just reduced to "above average" because of analytics, whereas Tanev is glorified at the top dman in the NHL.

It's not that analytics don't offer some value, it's just that they're highly overvalued.

Once again, Yogi Berra:

"Statistics are like lampposts. They're to be used for support not illumination."

Cernak pulled...

Traded to the Canucks

Cernak/Johnson(retain 1.5m)
Juolevi/Lind/3rd

NOpe, never heard of him - any good?

Have you seen any USDT games this year? I was wondering about two Dmen, Hreschuk and Behrens? Possible 2nd rounders?
- Brooks_Light

I seen Hreschuk once, he looked decent. Not sure he is a 2nd rounder though. I am liking a lot of defensemen in this draft. Hopefully Benning gets us a few this draft.

I hadn't heard of Primeau either but was looking at players who would be going back into draft on June 1st and I seen him, a 6'5 200 lb centre. Always checking for defensemen and centres.

I'm confused. Am I NuckUp or Lordy?

"Math explains something that is already there."

Pretty obvious statement. Anyhow, you're probably running out of posters to insult me with. I'm gonna leave this discussion now.

Do you know anything about Mason Primeau? He is currently a Vegas unsigned selection, eligible to be back in the draft this year.

I am a big fan of Tanev, but Jones is twice the defenseman that Tanev is.

Cernak pulled...

So add Cernak and trade down (even though it’s not you that says it every year )

I'd say more than that but yes he's much, much better.

At worst, Jones is at the low end of the top 10 defensemen in the league.

How many Columbus games have you watched this year ?

I love this place. Only here can you be called stupid for putting more faith in what your eyes see than what a sheet of paper tells you.

What D are you liking?

I'm interested to see if Truscott gets a bigger role next year in Michigan now that York is promoted.

Does it have to be this year? I've only caught a few but it's hard to believe he's washed up at the ripe ole age of 26.

Why do you keep bringing up cernak. He was literally just signed for 3 years at an extremely team friendly deal. We aren't trading for him and bolts aren't trading him. I don't get the cernak obsession in here.

About 5. How about you?

That makes two of us.

Yeah, he's a good Dman. No, he isn't going to transform our D corps.

So add Cernak and trade down (even though it’s not you that says it every year )

PISSPICK if Cernak is gotten

Minivan created a forum for the 2021 list. He created a nice list of all positions, I added a few names to that list, but didn't have to add much because he had a good list of players that I also agreed with him on.

This guy is one of my candidates for the 2nd round.

Math simply explains something that is already there and is much older than Hockey. Times may change, but Mathematicians have been selling their snake oil for thousands of years. So I suggest your line of thinking is way more antiquated than mine.

now that was a great post.
