Sujet: The Athletics proposed trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Byrr</b></div><div>The thought would be that Garland has more to give. He was one of the leagues top scorers(pretty sure the top scorer) at even strength last season and has a history of bigger production than Kerfoot.</div></div>

Over the past 2 seasons Garland has just 4pts more than Kerfoot. Before that yes, he was more productive, but Dubas is on the hot seat, he isn't about to pay for the hope that a guy can reclaim his game from years prior (at least not in this case, where the player would come at a cost of 4M per season for 3 more years).
Kerfoot plays C and plays on the PK as well as the 2nd PP unit. Garland doesn't play the PK and doesn't play the middle.
So Kerfoot is cheaper, more versatile, used in more situations and is a pending UFA
vs
Garland, who is more expensive, less versatile, used in less situations and is overpaid for 3 more years (even with salary retention).
.
It doesn't make sense and this "rumour" is based on nothing more than the fact that Dubas tried to acquire Garland a couple of years ago, but obviously decided against it, combined with the fact that he is now untradable in this salary cap landscape, but they want something to talk about and the Leafs get clicks.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsHaveNoCapSpace</b></div><div>Well if we're comparing Fleury to Andersen in value fleury is a much younger RHD who still has room to grow. Andersen is now 31 and at the end of his contract. Theres no guarantee he'll resign with Carolina so right now his value is priced as a rental. Lehner only fetched a 2nd and a fringe backup in Malcom so it's fair to assume Andersen and a 2nd would be fair value for the rights to Haydn Fleury.</div></div>

Disagree. A rental without Andersens track record is who you chose as a comparison and one that was expected to stay for a couple of months instead of a year at least. Andy should be worth more.
Besides that Fleury hasnt lived up to his draft ranking and shouldn't be expected to grow exponentially.
On top of that the trade proposed has the Leafs adding a 2nd, I think the 2nd alone is Fleurys value, never mind Andersen.
The Canes need to add here, not the Leafs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>oh good now we're debating what a meme is, im gonna pass on that bit
and you keep skipping over and not acknowledging one small thing. Other people watch a ton of hockey and form opinions. I know this is going to shock you, since you admitted to not reading the entire comments a few times, but, GASP! i am one of those people! I have formed the opinion that dougie is indeed a top NHL defender with that information and have formed the opinion with said information! GASP, then the opinion is bolstered by the statistical evidence! DOUBLE GASP!
so, now we have stats matching the hockey watching opinion and that seems to be a little more than clinging to corsi.
What's sad is limiting your ability to understand the game to your own memory entirely</div></div>

Its only sad if you have a terrible memory
I'd understand the obsession with those stats if they have ever come in handy but they haven't, as you say, they aren't perfect
So now I just have your misinterpreted eye test and inability to comprehend what you see.
We're back to the start. Want to continue? I'll be here all week

and if you are open to learning, go learn. Im bored enough to banter, not enough to be a teacher.
Are the stats perfect? no, but they are literally the best thing we have available to us and pretending there is something different or better out there to be presented is just silly. So, unless you wanna go off Norris votes by people like Steve Simmonds, you arn't going to get a better picture other than the combination of those stats, his old school counting stats and yes, a visual of his play. But that means other people too. Not just you!
So, what do we have at the end of the day, you've got two sets of stats showing that he is very very very good and a bunch of people saying that he is that good and then you have your own personal game watching package. You wanna dig deeper, it's all there.</div></div>

again, I don't have to read the entire thing
First, no, thats not a meme
Second, the stats aren't perfect, I'm glad you agree. Where you're wrong is assuming that it's "the best thing we have"
No, it's not the best thing we have. The best thing we have is watching a ton of hockey and forming an opinion.
That's what I've done, whereas you cling to corsi
It's sad

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>you'd be surprised to find i dont for one second believe that you are hear to learn when you have all the info in front of you and just want people to spoon feed it to you so you can shrug it off as "the stats used to prop up bad defenders!"
You have the internet, go use it. I've even given you a head start with that webpage, burried all the way down there as the first result in google for "dougie hamilton advanced stats".
If you had the remotest interest in having your mind changed you'd have expressed it instead of the spongebob meme'ing three pages ago.</div></div>

I didn't post a meme
I'm open to learning
I was hoping for more than the stats you posted, gotta be honest, they're flawed and everybody knows it
