<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>Thank you for your feedback and the example of how to be mature 😅.
I question your cherry picking of data though - Demko at 5v5 with min 50 games played the year before last was 5th in gsaa/60. In all situations he was 11th - last I checked goalies need to stop pucks during PK &amp; PP too 🤔.
And what about last year - he was 19th in gsaa/60 at 5v5 with min 30games played and 35th in all situations. That screams vezina candidate to you, come on lay off the Canuck koolaid</div></div>

Of course you need to set a minimum games played. A small sample size is easier to do well in. Example: Demko elite playoff numbers are due to a very small sample size when he went on a hot streak. It’s not cherry picking, that’s how you compare starters. You can’t be a top goalie in the league if you don’t start at least 50 games. If you don’t, that means you’re basically a 1B or backup. You’re right that his PK numbers are bad, but analytics are more difficult to track for goalies on the PK because it is constant high danger chances. Canucks also have a terrible PK. OEL, Myers, Schenn, Miller are the guys who are supposed to stop them from scoring. I think you need to grow up and start using your head with context and reasoning. I suppose you haven’t learned that which is totally ok! There’s always time to learn. I also think you mixed GSAA and GSAx because they are different. One is useful, the other is useless. I’ll let you take a guess which one is which. It’s good for you to learn!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>The guy who just had a statistically horrible year, not even top 50 in some metrics is a top 5 or 6 goalie 🥴🤯?! Even in 21-22, his numbers were just barely, or not even, top 10 - 5c5 or all situations All those metrics your buddy quoted are only meaningful when you standardize for time. Demko played a lot more games than most that year but on a per 60 basis, he was between 10-20 in ‘21 and between 50-60 last year. Hardly the goaltending stud you’re twisting yourself into a pretzel to prove</div></div>

Putting in in per 60, Demko was still one of the best goalies at 5v5. At 5v5 Demko was 5th in the league in GSAx/60 among goalies with at least 50 games played. So that statement is false

Once again, it seems like you have selective reading because you don’t bother with context. Demko was playing through injury until he went out for a few months. But of course, you choose to ignore that due to your passion of being annoying to other fanbase D. Your entire tone and attitude suggests to me that you aren’t even old enough to be on this site. You super childish. Are you sure you’re even 13?

Sujet: Finishing touches from an outsider
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Huge upgrade but other teams upgraded also. Seattle destroys Vancouver. They have no chance at contending unless Pettersson become the reincarnation of Wayne Gretzky.</div></div>

Seattle is good, I don’t see how they are a threat since we wouldn’t even play them in the first round. As for the Pacific, Calgary got worse so we leap frog them. Seattle also had an unhealthy high case of luck with their goals above expected. They are bound to regress. Will still be good but the Canucks have 2 more superstars than they do. Not saying this is a contender, but saying that they can’t compete is a terrible take. Even so, Montreal isn’t close to competing. I don’t see their future being better than Buffalo, Ottawa, or Detroit, all of whom are better now and have a better future

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Vancouver defense is awful. Hughes is excellent, Hronek is an incredible 2 but the rest is bad. Cole and Soucy are bottom pairing guy. Myers is a 6 D. Pretty unlikely Dumba sign in Vancouver. The rest is ahl caliber.

Seattle just beat cup favorite Avs in first round. And their team is better than ever. If that is not proven playoff contender, I don’t know what it is. Beniers could score 90 points this season, while being good defensively. That is pretty close to Pettersson. Don’t act like Pettersson is a top 10 player in the league.</div></div>

You can’t tell me Cole is bottom pairing. My guy he was playing 20 minutes a night on the Tampa Bay Lightning. He literally was 3rd in minutes in Tampa. He was literally playing top 4 on a contender. He is better than any d man the Habs have got. Soucy I agree is a lot more unproven, but a superstar d man, a top pair d man, a second pair d man, and a #5 is not as bad as you think. You are way downplaying the Canucks. They made significant improvements to the back end. I like Beniers a lot, and yes he COULD score 90 and be in the Selke race, but Pettersson has already proven to score 100 while being in the Selke race as well. Seattle’s top players aren’t even close to Vancouver. What they have is a lot of depth. Scoring is more spread out. All your arguments have failed. Pettersson is easily a top 10 center in the league. You could ask most people and they’d agree. How many 100 point centers are putting up Selke numbers?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Seattle is a threat because they will take the wildcard. Vancouver would have to take the other wild card. And while Calgary lost Toffoli, I think they will be better than last year. Huberdeau will certainly be better, Weegar too. I wouldn’t count them beat. And other teams like Anaheim have got way better. If a team in the pacific surprise us next season, it’s them. Seattle have gone better next season. Also, I don’t think there is much difference between Hughes and Dunn. Seattle defense is A LOT better than Vancouver. Their offense too, even if it’s closer. Vancouver beat them in net, but Grubauer could surprise us. Seattle has the upper edge on Vancouver. Canucks can compete for second wildcard, but they won’t make it.

Montreal is much closer to competing than you think. In 3 years, we could make the playoffs. Ottawa has a good core, it I’m afraid they will be the new Calgary. And Detroit seems to always rebuild, then trade assets for win-now players, then rebuild. Buffalo has the greatest future in nhl in my mind. But Montreal is close</div></div>

Dunn had a fantastic season, but come on now… Comparing him to Hughes? That’s a rough look buddy since Hughes is better at just about everything. Even defense somehow! No point in arguing if these are the atrocious takes you’re going to make. Clearly you have something against the Canucks if you think Dunn is comparable to Hughes and Beniers is comparable to Pettersson 😂. Not even in the same tier. Also, your entire argument is based arohnd the fact that Seattle COULD COULD COULD. You’re counting on multiple players having career years because that’s what it would take for them to improve like you said. Seattle has been asleep this offseason, I don’t see how they improved.

. Why would Ottawa be the new Calgary? That makes no sense. As it stands, the Senators have 7-8 forwards capable of scoring 20 goals. Their defense core is going to be one of the best in the league with Chabot, Chychrun, Sanderson, Zub. That’s an elite top 4. I can’t see Montreal being better than Ottawa. With Detroit? No clue but they have all the pieces in place to become a bonafide contender

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GuyGuyGuy</b></div><div>Pettersson is a top 10 C. I said that he wasn’t a top 10 player. Learn too read you too. Hughes is there because he is more fun to watch and dynamic offensively than anybody. He makes his team better, unlike Pettersson. Aho is also better than Pettersson for the same reason. Better leader, makes his team better. And ask anybody (non biased) in the world who is better defensively between Pettersson and Aho and they will Aho. Analytics just don’t always say the truth.</div></div>

If you’re measuring a player on “fun to watch” I don’t even know what to say than you… Pettersson is much better defensively than Aho. Come on, don’t be foolish. “Ask anyone”. You sure you want to do that?

Also, did you seriously just say Pettersson DOESNT make his team better? May be the most uneducated take I’ve ever seen on this site, and that takes a lot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I think you should be placing the blame for that on management. The team should have been a lottery team but your management keeps trying to put lipstick on a pig.</div></div>

I mean that is true, but realistically if the team began intentionally losing, what does that say about the team culture? Even if they began tanking, that doesn’t secure anything. So they go from 11th overall to 5th overall. That means they do the minor upgrade of Willander to Reinbacher with the cost of Pettersson demanding a trade? In theory it’s good to tank, but in reality it’s not as good as you think. You can’t ask Pettersson and Hughes to stop playing well so there’s no way they were going to be worse than Anaheim, Chicago, San Jose, or Columbus even if they tried

Sujet: Whos out and Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ennis</b></div><div>Durzi, whos a defensive catastrophe just got a 2nd from a rebuilding team, and likely COULD have net LAK more if they weren't in a hurry to clear cap. But it's suddenly foreign to suggest Fabbro can't get the same kind of retrun? He took a step back in his usage this season but the season prior was a defensive weapon on a pairing with Josi. This isn't coming out of nowhere or us overvaluing our players. Poile also kicked tires on moving him at the deadline but opted to keep him, I don't think it's crazy to suggest he'd get a 2nd lmfao.</div></div>

Durzi is younger, better, slightly cheaper, and actually has offensive upside. He put up 38 points in 72 games. Of course he would get a better return
