This is my comment to you, in regards to that crap you posted last blog.
WAR is a useless, yes, useless stat and if you are relying on that crap, all I can say is, you are an idiot. - Reubenkincade
I’m not relying on it. In fact, I bet the author of the model also doesn’t believe that it tells the whole truth. Lots of variables that can’t be accounted for/measured.
The only thing statistics do is to help you predict the future based on the past.
So is WAR a useless measurement? Don’t know, but I bet it’s more meaningful than you give it credit for. I mean, based on your desires, the Canucks would be built like Seattle, who ranks second in the division under the system you says is useless…🤷♂️

The eye test says that Hughes should be paid like PK Subban.

I thought it was interesting and have saved the image to my email folder. Thanks. I’m looking forward to seeing how it equates to the actual end of season standings.

You are a hate slurper doing the dance of dislike.

Thanks Carol, that’s going to be a lot of salary in Abbotsford. Good on RyJo for pushing for $ to ice a competitive team.
I saw a tweet this morning that Scott Burnside is no longer with The Athletic. Seems to have caught him off guard, apparently all his stuff is gone from the Athletic app now - though I can’t confirm as I am not a subscriber.
Too bad, I enjoyed his contributions to the podcasts. - 1970vintage
Makes sense to poor some money into a new franchise, drum up some interest to help set the team up for some success going forward.
Vancouver Canucks forward Micheal Ferland in The Athletic: “My wife doesn’t want me playing anymore. So as much as I love to play and want to play, it isn’t worth it for me to get another concussion and be back in a deep hole. I want to start skating, playing rec hockey, no contact.”

Damn, I was hoping he'd go on LTIR. Sounds like he wants another year under Green's system.
