I prefer to think of them as Glenn Anderson days.

If you're looking at counting stats only, sure.

If you look at how it happened (% of time with McDavid, on ice shooting percentage, personal shooting percentage, production against Ottawa) it gets concerning.

If you look at the rest of his game it's downright scary.

Do you have some stats that show he's not improving?
He's been ranked 175th on average in suppression stats for the last three years.

He's a bottom pairing defenseman, and almost a 7th defenseman defensively.

Not where I'd put $9.25M

Remember I am just a Homer, don't claim to be an expert. But I have watched the Oilers my whole life and I haven't been this excited preseason since the Jari Kurri days. We've learned to not get our hopes up too high but I am throwing caution to that this year. We have a good team.
Never heard the Oilers heyday referred to as the Jari Kurri days.

What numbers are you talking about? Corsi against per 60? Fenwick? High danger chances? Straight shots against?

Last three years out of 191 defensemen to play 1400+ minutes (191/31 = 6.2 per team)

CA60 154th
SA60 176th
SCA60 157th
HDCA60 161st

and the summary of all of that

xGA60 175th

Swept by a team that got swept after being punted by a 12th seed. Two way play and defense in question.

*add offense and butcher defense further*

*re-up average players to star-level term and money, handcuffing cap structure for years*

"This is a good team."



MIB be memory wiping these fools every summer.

I don't repute these numbers you have given, mostly because I don't know what they mean... but I do know a quality hockey player when I watch one. Nurse is that.

You were the one claiming his stats have improved every year.

That's some Kevin Lowe talk.

Do the Oilers have an analytics person/department?

Because their last series of moves makes one question whether they look at advanced stats at all. In fact I'm almost certain they ponied up assets for Keith based on name recognition and reputation alone lol.

The stats I understand, he has improved in. I'm a bit of a dinosaur with these new numbers though.

CA60 = Corsi against per 60. Corsi is any shot attempt
SA60 = Shots against per 60
SCA60 = Scoring chances against per 60
HDSCA60 = High danger scoring chances per 60
xGA60 = Expected goals against per 60

Basically he's terrible at defending.
Which is a problem for a defenseman.
