I’d prefer Novak over Sissons

In no universe is Smith getting retained for $2.5m over the next two seasons. Not for that return. It makes zero sense.

I’d rather have Sissins of the two. Novak is not good at faceoffs, is barely outproducing Sissins at 5v5, gets 80% of his starts in the offensive zone, and is a UFA after this season. The only thing he has on Sissons is that he’s three-and-a-half years younger.

I’m indifferent to the deal, but Smith only has one year left, not two.

It looks like Sissons plays 2nd line which usually means better linemates whereas Novak is 3rd line. Dating back to last year, Novak has 7 more 5v5 points in 42 less games than Sissons

I mean Chytil wasn’t good at faceoffs either lol and we’ve seen Lavi put trocheck on the ice for faceoff and he gets off.
