  1. I walked back into the room with that trade on the tv. It was pretty good, actually.
  2. He had a nice pass on the two on none with Petey, but def still finding his place
  3. I’m over it. Bo cashed in, and gets a shot at 1C, neither of which made sense in Van. All the best to him. We’ve been lucky enough to have 2-3 great C’s and we’re finally selling high in favour of futures, instead of staying in the mushy middle. I’m more excited about our trade return and change in leadership than I am disappointed to see him go. The draft will be our playoffs this year. onwards!
  4. Horvat’s deployment in NYI will play a big factor in whether he lives up to this contract. If he can play 1C consistently, and produce ~ PPG, then he’s in line with Roope Hinz, and the contract doesn’t look as bad over the short term (4 yr NTC period). This is also important context on the Canucks lower offer, which (as long as Petey is here) was for a 2A/2B center, providing an avg. 60 pts before breaking out this year. That’s what his value was to the Canucks, and I’m glad they held the line in negotiations. His recent offensive production has come playing behind Petey, and also (at times) Miller, in a run and gun system, and is nearly twice his average shooting %. He’ll now be facing opponents’ shutdown D pairs and checking lines, in a more defensive structure. It’s his first opportunity at being the 1C, and I think he’s capable, but he needs to prove it.
  5. I feel embarrassed for that poster. Usually the person attacking another’s education is just insecure about their own. The way they presented their argument tells you everything you need to know about their credentials. Back on ignore.
  6. My math checks out, Professor. From 16/17 to 21/22. Not this year, the outlier
  7. Market value precedence is $1M per 10 pts ave. per year. Miller’s $8m for a PPG player is an example. Notice we didn’t give him $10M for his one season of 99 pts. PA made an offer that was fair based on Horvat’s contributions up until this year. Guessing that was in the $6-7M range for a 60 pt player. That’s his market value, even inflated a bit to value his face offs, and recent bump in production. Another GM traded for him mid-season, giving up his top prospect and a mid round 1st in a deep draft. His options were to risk losing him to FA or meet his contract demands. He chose the latter, and paid Horvat as if this years’ production is his average, well above his market value. If a desperate GM overpays a UFA, it doesn’t become their market value. See Parise, Suter, and Louie Eriksson for examples.
  8. The improvement from 16/17 to 21/22 is .1PPG. Honestly you’re just embarrassing yourself
  9. You’ve mentioned education a few times now, what is your background in statistics and microeconomics?
