  Want a better chance at a Cup; have a left shot number one centre.  

I feel like you might be jumping to conclusions.  Is it possible that the data indicates a coincidence, considering that many more players are left-handed, and the last several cup winners are repeats?

Could be.  Yup.

You asked me earlier if I like to argue, but the comment in question was a chastisement, not an argument.  An argument is when you proceed from a premise, through a chain of logic, to a conclusion.  And yes I would be interested.

 

Are you going to suggest that there is a logical reason for the prevalence of left-handed centers?  That would be the type of thing that I'm sure we would all welcome.  We could then, theoretically, move on to what is called a debate.

 

I seriously am interested in your argument here, all arrogance aside.

I accept that.  From what I can remember, there are very few teams winning Cups with right shooting number one centres.  I know of Krejci, Mario, and were there any others?

It's interesting, and I'm scratching my head trying to remember, but it's not very compelling because I can't figure out how right-handedness could be a disadvantage.  According to goalies I've talked to, the right-handed shooter is a lot harder to stop on the glove side.

Maybe it doesn't have to do with shooting, but more to do with passing?

Aside from Mario twice in a row in the 90s? Yeah, Yzerman twice in a row in the 90s.

So five times in 50 years, and twice by two of the greatest ever.  I'm sticking with the lefty - Bo all the way to the Cup.

To Winnipeg: Bo Horvat (+/-)

 

To Vancouver: Mark Schiefele (+/-)

 

Pull the trigger or no?

We would not trade Bo for anything close to equal value. His O is going to come along. His D is incredible. His FO's are so, so needed. The only way we are trading our future Captain is if we get unequal, ridiculous value for him. Not seeing it.

We did and we lost to a team with a right shot #1 center.....

Do you really think it matters what hand these guys shoot, I mean they are all in the NHL for a reason, and I am quite sure that if Crosby shot from his opposite side, he still would have been drafted by PIT. By the way philosophy is a joke, it only posses questions to question and never explains or answers anything, it does not even argue anything, just a bunch of talking in circles. For example, is a circle a circle? Are you really reading this? Does this tread really exist? Is the sky really up?

Sounds like you don't really understand philosophy ;)
