Nah

I mean the stats don’t really bear it out. Dom had him going from slightly below average to slightly above average, but he also weights relative to team, and it’s not difficult to look above average when compared to the other Canucks D lol. Jfresh obviously had him stagnant, mostly due to poor zone entry denial/rush defense. But also on the offensive side, that’s his even strength play-driving, not point production. I think we’re on the same side in saying that a better D will improve his EV offense though. 31 of his points came on the PP. There’s really no reason he can’t get 50 even strength points every year too, and a more reliable partner would help with that. His defensive peak will be hard to determine until he gets that partner, because so far the only time he had a good partner, he didn’t do great defensively. He should be better now, but by how much is the question. Being an elite offensive guy and even average defensively would be great, but he can still get away with being mediocre defensively if that’s really all his ability is.

What’s next? Gallagher and a first for Cale Makar?

please tell me this isn't you

How about Dobson for Josh Anderson and a late 1st pic.twitter.com/MSJ6PxtoUR

Where's Savard now 👀

Laval?

He's our best RHD currently
So your joke doesn't even make sense

that’s not a good thing

Did I say it was?

Laval Canadiens

Dubois says his next contract could be his last in the NHL before he retires. That’s part of the reason a one-year deal made the most sense for him right now. He’s going to take his time to consider a variety of factors before making a long-term commitment.

Dubois wants to retire at like 33? If he says his next contract could be his last…

3 Worst Contacts in the NHL according to The Athletic,
1. Seguin
2. Seth Jones
3. Skinner

I’d easily put Bob or Vlasic on this list, at least guys like Jones are serviceable

did they say what metric they used or was it a vote?

yeah but they don’t post a percentage number on twitter for me to base my entire opinion of every hockey player on 😤😤

fr tho idk how I’m supposed to take their data into account without paying for it, which I don’t do. So I’ll use whatever jfresh posts on twitter, dom’s cards because I sub to the athletic, and whatever digging I feel like doing on natural stat trick or moneypuck as far as advanced stats go, to support the eye test and scouting reports, and I haven’t yet seen anything to support him being good at denying zone entries, and he’s not got the size to be an effective in-zone defender that boxes guys out. Good at puck retrievals though, presumably because he can use his speed to get there first and carry it out. It doesn’t help that one of the only canucks games I remember watching this year was a sh*tshow against philly where literally not a single defenseman on either team ever at any point in time did a single thing right lmao

Man I really wish predatory offer sheets were more common. There’s no reason to not offer sheet Dobson honestly. He’s so good.

Imagine thinking Josh Anderson is worth anywhere near Noah Dobson
You will learn the hard way

He isn't, but Lou is Lou & there's rumours out there
