Sujet: Real trade to get The Greediest Player in the league
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ddug</b></div><div>I think anyone would take the money if offered to them, I don't know that you can call that greedy. Tavares took 11 to "go home" but it was offered so why wouldn't a player say yes</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>I disagree. They were offered the money. What were they going to do, say, "no, I'd rather have less". Not likely.</div></div>

Sujet: bracco 1st line Calder trophy winner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Claesson4Norris</b></div><div>Dude Jeremy Bracco was absolutely a Dubas guy. He was like 5'10 175 on draft day, and he was soft as dirt and was bad defensively. Doesn't exactly fit the Hunter pick profile.</div></div>

the funny thing is he wasnt. Dubas wanted Konecney but Hunter felt trading down was the smarter move. Bracco yes looks like a Dubas guy but reality wasnt as Dubas was not eying him and instead wanted Anthony Cirelli as he felt having a defensive center was the better choice. And for today boy was he right cause for 4 years the leafs needed a guy like that and sure kerfoot is that guy now but could you picture marner - cirelli killing penalties.

Hunter wanted bracco as sure he was small but had the USDP record at the time and looked like a solid 3rd line guy. Basically at the time looked like a steal

Sujet: Most Overrated player on each team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>olson_22</b></div><div>“Allows you to stop paying attention” how it in no way affects the way I watch hockey. What do you mean “think you know what you are talking about.” Tampa Colorado Vegas all headed by an analytics staff keep thinking that they don’t work. All successful teams use and have used analytics in there decision making. What makes you think stats don’t track puck retrieval, good dump ins and gap control. All of that is tracked as well. Well the eye test is useful and I love watching hockey. Stats only highten that enjoyment as you can see a players all around value. And where do you get the idea that Dougie is a bad d he’s great using both analytics and watching him.</div></div>

Dougie does not get the respect he deserves. People watch a player make 1 bad pass during the game and automatically think they are bad or something lol. Dougie plays great gap and has a great stick along with strong mobility for his size. People are just to lazy to further their knowledge about hockey so the typical response is to just call us nerds for looking at analytics. You're absolutely right as well that all the good teams have strong analytical departments and it clearly shows in their teams play. Like my favourite team is the Jets and they were terrible analytically last season except for Hellebuyck, and that was clearly backed up by the eye test, it was so hard to watch them this past season. The fact that so many people refuse the thought of expanding the understanding of the game is just beyond me.
