He did this on the worst team in the league- statistically one of the worst teams of all time, only had a -6 in that time too.

2. Is he terrible defensively? The knock has always been that he's slow. Advanced metrics pretty poor. But he's a +11 this year. Career wise only a -36 and he has been on absolutely piss poor teams. IMO watching him, he's much more stick active and I think he's not really a puck dominant type of player which greatly impacts his possession stats. But he's good a distributing and he's good at crashing the net. The 80% zone starts is just good coaching- the team is top in the league thanks to smart deployment.

Plus Minus was a bad stat 20 years ago.

I feel like I am being gaslit... we're joking here right? I would take strome on the club in a heartbeat, and truly believe he'd be the best center we have, probably be a reasonably large amount. He'd be playing likely with Huberdeau and someone like Coronato, so I think 60 points is absolutely reasonable.

Anyways, it's totally immaterial.

When your first line players are getting all the premium ice time and PP time and getting 60 points, you are a terrible offensive team.

As soon as someone uses the phrase "I'm being Gaslit"...it's a strong indicator to me that credibility is not a trait that person possesses.

I'm happy to hear that you've never been gaslit professionally.

Well, gaslighting is definitely a thing, but as with most phrases, it gets way overused.

Craig is definitely cooking.

Claims of being too diluted are way overblown imo.


In 1985/86, 522 NHL players, or 76%, were from Canada.
14.4% were American (101)
4.4% Swedish
2.2% Finnish
No on else over 1 percent, and 7 other countries represented


Obviously, while there more teams, we are drawing from a great bigger pool.


https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/nati...-86-stats.html


This season, Canadians are down to 41.6% (394), and Americans are up to 28.5% (270).
Sweden 9.8%
Russia 6.4%
Finland 5.4%
CZech 3%
Switzerland 1.2 %
And 11 other countries under 1%
Slovenia
Latvia
Denmark
Germany
Belarus
Netherlands
Austria
Australia
France
Norway
Belarus

Hopefully he holds off until after the road trip. They could be well out of playoff spot when they return. That said they have surprised all year long and shouldn’t count them out yet.

He's been pretty adamant that he wants to make the team better now and for the future. So my guess is positioning may not make a difference on some deals.
