Nick Merkley for NJ

Or Johnsson if Merkley doesn't meet the 300 minutes played requirement

Seth jones? Is this a joke?

I would add Comeau and Cogliano too. No need to remove Sekera though, but he's good on defence at least.

What is he good at exactly? He's good at not being able to defend though.

Staal for MTL

Nah

This one can't be based on analytics.

Dermott > Engvall, Simmonds, Thornton, Bogosian

his underlying numbers have been really bad this year. Its a fair take. A bit harsh but he hasnt but his play isnt living up to his Rep right now

Wagner is much worse than Kuraly.

I would say PE bellemare is doing exactly what we want him to, if anyone is the avs worst player its miska.. and if goalies dont count it would be compher

Savard > Schenn

spot on for the sabres. eakin needs to be blasted to the moon.

I forgot about him

Off year for sure. But worst player on a bad team? I would take Seth Jones any day. He is still a premiere defenseman.

It's reputation. He has not been a premier defenseman since 17-18 and has been ass since last season

McGinn's underlying numbers have been a bit shaky this season, so I can't really complain here. He was only getting points when he played with Aho.

I haven't been watching Coyotes games at all. Cause I mean does anyone really? But in all seriousness, not having watching him this year can someone tell me if he has actually been that bad? To me he has always been nothing but consistent over the years. Is age catching up with him?

You're kidding right. Did you even watch him last year?

I did, closely. He was not as bad as he is right now but he was still far, far, far from being a premier defenseman

Idk if he’s played 300 minutes but Leo Komorav

like I said its harsh but not unjustified, its been a pretty awful year for him and I believe he had poor numbers last season too, Its something to keep on eye on as he moves towards UFA and someone will offer him a boat load of money based on name Rep

I would say Thornton for sure. Engvall has his issues but he is behind only nylander at lugging the puck through the neutral zone successfully.

Komarov is meh but still has a neutral impact. Clutterbuck's is negative

Which has it's benefits, it's what happens at each end of the ice that worries me.

IMO Engvall is a decent 13th forward.

Dermott is a solid 5th dman. He can have the odd bad game here or there, but majority of the time he tilts the ice in the right direction in his minutes.
