Bottom pairing should be Riiko and Petterson. The whole coaching staff can’t be THAT blind that they can’t see Hack Johnson getting burned 8 times a game by faster forwards. Send JJ to WBS and be happy to get the 1 mill in cap space. At this point who’s worse Jack or Scuderi part 2? It’s pretty damn close.

Point total is killing you. You need a ton of people to lose this week.
- Feds91Stammer


Yeah, I don’t think I’m making it.

At least I’ve figured it out though. Three of those losses came from not really knowing how to approach this. Next season I should kill it.

Youre a blast from the past!


Not sure if you've been reading what we've been saying and just not posting here but 99% of the people around here agree with you about JJ and also wonder how the whole coaching staff can be that blind/moronic regarding JJ.

Its not so much JJ's skating...its his brain or lack there of...

Thanks, Tony Robbins lol

I’m aware. The first two weeks I was doing it all wrong and the next two I was getting better, but still not there so it was a lot of catch up.

Next season I’ll kill it.

Still Scuderi was worse. And his cap hit at that hurt us more per year than Jack's with the lower total cap.

Johnson is a smidge faster is the main differencd... both utterly useless players.

Where is this idea of Fowler coming from for you? Do you watch a lot of Ducks games?
- MattStrat


I watch a lot of hockey and I've seen a lot of Fowler dating back to his JR days.

It's weird how so many people on here hate players if they have name recognition. Like fancy stat hipsters. I never said that Fowler was a #1 D, I said he would be a huge improvement to the top 4.

The Ducks suck and just fired their coach. Put Maata in that lineup and see what his numbers look like. Stats can tell a story, but there has to be perspective.

Would you prefer left or right?

Tell me what team each player plays for and who their most common linemates are and I'll tell you.

Both are lefties that are former first round picks.

Thats all you get.

Too much context will make your decision biased.

So you think he's better than Dumo or Maatta?

Fowler has played on some pretty good Ducks teams in the past and has always been fine to subpar surrounded by a pretty impressive D core. This isn’t the case of him sucking on a bad team since the Ducks have only recently nosedived. Fowler isn’t that good and he’s not better than Dumoulin, Schultz, or even Maatta.

Context matters when determining who is a better player. May as well have posted goals and assists totals without indicating who is playing with Crosby and who is playing with Cullen.

Malkin and Bjugstad are both doing line rushes. Schultz on the fourth pairing with Ruhwedel so I doubt he draws in.

- Rinosaur

That’s because no one on this board seems to think Maatta is good so I have to argue on the majority’s terms.

Over a 3 year sample QoT and QoC cancel out. If you can't pick one it just shows how bad Fowler actually is.

- MattStrat


I think Dumo does a great job of fitting into a particular role. He is a great support player to go with a guy like Letang.

Honestly, I want Maata to be good but he really isnt anymore. He's about a half step ahead of Johnson. Fowler is massively better than Maata, not even close.

Horny on the 4th line. Bjugstad playing LW with Geno and Phil.

Half a step ahead of Johnson? Massively better than Maatta? Well then. And we’re done here.

Disagree. The fact that your chart implies teammates and competition don't matter shows you how bad the chart is.

Yeah I got off the trade Hornqvist band wagon a little while ago. When we still had Sheary and Sprong was still at least promising it made sense, but not anymore. You could make the argument with Bjugstad but I feel very strongly that he should play C.
- Victoro311

Absolutely otherwise we traded Brass and didn't get a 3c. I think Kessel and him can form a good third line.
