<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>Hmm august 11th. Judging on his 44 games from last year. 27% percentile QOC is not being heavily sheltered .

Wahlstrom ranks 5th among forwards in GF/60 and xGF/60, 4th in xGA/60. Defensive liability though lol.

your boy josh anderson tho. The poor mans milan Lucic with negative hockey IQ. He is a replacement level forward. He has a negative impact on the rate his team scores goals , expected goals, and he’s terrible defensively. Sucks on the powerplay too!</div></div>

If you were an Islanders fan (and i am a massive one) you would know which rates and analytics actually matter to the style they play. It's why they are projected to do nothing in every model but get a win or 2 away from the cup the past 2 years. Possession means little to nothing. Trotz is perfectly happy with the other team circling the outside of the Isles zone and holding onto the puck for a full minute. The eye test in those situations actually makes sense to use bc that is a very bad strategy to have analytically. How players position themselves, box out, and use their stick is everything and none of those things can be quantified into analytics. Things like that are why Leo Komarov gets placed with Barzal through an entire playoff run despite brutal analytics. Its an invaluable impact that cant be put into numbers.
Goal scoring rates are also such a heavily picked stat that doesnt really matter when given context. Trotz will use Wahlstrom in situations where they need a goal and never use him in situations where the other team needs a goal. Also, Wahlstrom takes by far the most shots on the team, an insane in amount if you actually average everyone out per 60, and he hits the net at a 50% rate. Most analytics are heavily shot and shot attempt based. His shot totals paint a false story to the impact he actually has. He plays exclusively non high leverage situations defensively and only high leverage situations offensively and that really skews his numbers. If he actually was a better player, he should have wayyyyyy more points and goals based on shot attempts alone. Every time hes on the ice, the team tries getting him the puck to shoot. Its a strategy thats been hilariously unsuccessful so far. So when the rest of their team gets back to their normal levels of play i think he's going to be off the roster, whether being sent down or traded. And i cant wait to back here to rub it in when it happens

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>my personal thought is that he's probably going to turn into a middle six to maybe a stretch top line winger who can score goals, which i think is perfectly acceptable and very useful for this team. if they're moving him, move him for someone like girard or chychrun, or a top scorer. i can't think of one rn besides boeser and i think the nucks would want dobson instead, but i'm sure there's someone out there lol. anderson doesn't move the needle enough for me to be convinced to move on from wahlstrom.</div></div>

This is very fair. I have my own way of gauging a players worth and everyone is entitled to their own opinion with theirs. I like to combine analytics, eye test, and team surroundings/situation to judge what a player would be worth on another team. I think Anderson has a very high ceiling with the Islanders and i also think people overrate wahlstrom compared to how hes viewed in league circles. Every fanbase does that with their own players to be fair. There were many Rangers fans that didnt want to include Kravtsov or Schneider in a trade for Eichel. But judging on the way outside evaluators talk about wahlstrom, i think his trade value is way less than people think bc hes very flawed under the goal scoring numbers and misleading overall analytics.
Boeser would be a great option but i dont think the Islanders would be able to match most other biddings by other teams. Chychrun is probably gonna be Arizona's captain next year and has publicly said he wants to stick through the rebuild. so they are not gonna trade him to anyone. And Girard to me is a very interesting thought but i wouldnt trade Wahlstrom for him bc that just opens up another hole. We need to have a top 6 winger that Trotz can trust to play important minutes and i think Wahlstrom gets them that this year at some point. I honestly think hes gonna be traded this year
