SOLD! All sales final no returns

On Fiala, top 10, sure. other picks an prospects, sure. Top 5 this year and probably next too!

we re not trading (with the NYRs, first of all), for a backup goalie who is a UFA in 3 months. The last time we did that they used the pick to help them get for K'Andre Miller. I refuse to help them get better with a move like this. Sign Husso in FA and make him challenge MB for the#1 spot. Or Varly in Long Island. If you like Georgie, talk with him and tell him he will get plenty of starts with the the way 29 has played the last two years!

Salaries look about right KF with a slight bump IMO
More for AJ, More for Blackwood, more for Tatar. Garland is ok move, they need a RHD, Walsh is too green though.

Lordy...Georgiev to be the starting goalie? (this is a step backwards, no?)
Keep Blackwood (Daws, Bernier) over the new two

Fiala - not a top-10 pick for Fiala. Give 'em the 2nd rounder. (Also, name one example of a top-10 pick getting traded for a pending RFA...)

OK with rest

Isn't Georgiev RFA tho

You are correct, I am totally wrong! Apologies
Lets look elsewhere!

I think this particular price is too steep but I am interested in Georgiev. Especially if the Rangers don't qualify him and he /does/ become UFA

Now, that I could consider! He could get a lot of reps here, for sure. But is Husso a better get? Could force MB to be better or be moved!

I am extremely dubious of Husso.

...and not Georgie?????

Why do you guys hate him so much lmao He's an absolutely analytics darling.

I'm a big analytics person, but when you watch him you realize analytics make him seem a lot better then he is.

Isn’t that like, the point of analytics? To show you what your eyes don’t see?

No, the point of analytics is to be another tool in evaluation, its not the end all be all. For example here is Nick Foligno's metrics

FF% - 55.5
SF% - 56.5
xGF% - 57.0
SCF% - 55.2
HDCF% - 59.5

^Looks amazing right? Reality is he's been pretty awful this year to the point where he started the season playing 15+ a night on average and now he's around 10 minutes a night on average.

Imo, this is the absolute wrong way to use analytics for 99% of people lol using TOI isn’t a particularly strong argument here either. Tho a quick look at evolving hockey does his his GF/60 RAPM 2 standard deviations below league average so yeah there’s something going on, but that could be bad luck or it could be something the numbers are missing. He’s got a 4% oiSH% so that could be part of it.

Digging in a tad more we see his offense has really fallen off a cliff (2nd percentile) but his defense remains strong (82%). Then you can turn to microstats to figure go even further

Regardless, that doesn’t really take away from my point that for people like us, you’re better off applying context to analytics rather than the other way around

And literally no one said it’s the end all be all lmao
