No offense to Pouliot but Frolik has eclipsed 40 points four times in his career while Pouliot is the perennial 30 point player. I think Frolik is the more talented player.
Yeah, exactly. Going to have to call me when Pouliot breaks 40 points or 20 goals ever. Pouliot is Frolik's lesser brother. In 7 seasons Frolik had broken 40 points 4 times, in the same 7 seasons Pouliot never has.
Benoit had 19 goals last season and came close to 20 but his shooting percentage was almost double what it was the season before, and I know Oil Stain is a big proponent of shooting percentage, as he correctly predicted Sean Monahan's drop in goals last year.

Perhaps every team wised up to the fact that this was a career year as he never reached 20 goals before and he did it playing with the likes of Kesler.

Do tell me who set the conditions so that Kane and Teravainen's careers wouldn't end against the Ducks.
The Ducks did not win the championship. They did not even win the West. They lost to a team with a lower "RGI" than most lottery teams in the league.
The Hawks have 2 players with a low RGI as you noted.... you will note that Kane and Teravainen are not put out on the same line often if ever.
even Richards and Keith delivered just under a hit a game in the playoffs.
The Hawks did win the championship... they wore down a smaller no-contact Tampa team that would not have made it out of the West.
As to who looked after Kane and Teravininen's not getting run out of the rink....
Andrew Desjardins
Andrew Shaw
Antoine Vermette
Brandon Saad
Brent Seabrook
Bryan Bickell
Jonathan Toews
Marian Hossa
Patrick Sharp
a lot of top-6 guys on that list who averaged around 2 hits each and every Hawk playoff game... Seabrook is also on the ice for half the game and is more intimidating than any d-man the Flames have.
The Hawks top-6 , similar to the Ducks top-6 would physically dominate , if not outright bully and scare the Flames top-6 of
Gaudreau, Monahan, Hudler, Colborne, Bennett and Frolick.
Hartley would not let that happen and Ferland or Jones or Bouma would get time on the top-6 to even things out a bit.

Since you don't believe in the regression of shooting percentage then perhaps we should bet some money on whether Hudler and Monahan both hit 30 goals again this upcoming season.
Getting fair deal on July first usually means win for the team. Totally agree it's a fair deal but when you're signing a UFA, you expect more.
Quoted for emphasis. I was hoping we would sign him but given his age and the small UFA pool, I was expecting to overpay by more. Fair deal equals awesome deal this time of year.
Realistically, he has at least 4 or 5 peak years left in him. Plus he mote or less fits the identity.

You in?
How do you explain Iggy's career shooting percentage?

If you can show me where I said I don't believe it or where I said Monahan and Hudler are guarantees to both hit 30 again, I'll take that bet. Though I'd hate for you to be halfway associated with me agin, I know that bothers you. (Remove that quote if you want by the way.

Thinking regression happens and thinking it's an absolute are different things. All last summer you were throwing around "because shooting percentage" so much it became a meme. Some players have high shooting percentages throughout their careers, Monahan could be one of those guys, hovering between 12-15 wouldn't be out of the ordinary for top line players. Hudler is another one of those guys.
Where your "because shooting percentage" makes sense is for a guy like Lance Bouma, who was never a scorer and his S% of four to six percent skyrocketed to 15.
Both Monahan and Hudler probably get anywhere from 20-25 goals as a safe bet, could easily go higher. Lance Bouma probably won't hit 16 again...
Because shooting percentage.

Anything over 14 is extremely out of the ordinary.
