It would produce some really dumb results. So like in 2003 that setup would not only rate Naslund over Forsberg, it would rate Hejduk over Forsberg which is just something that breaks every logic test. Or in 2006 you'd end up really underrating Thornton and overrating Cheechoo, and this year you doing the same between McDavid and Hyman. Basically goals being worth more than assists doesn't work when the playmaker is good enough.

Hockey-reference has it's Goals Created stat which follows a similar principle and you can kind of see why it doesn't work. Like 2012-13 it has Kunitz above Crosby.

honestly hejduk belongs in the hall of fame if only so I might have a few more opportunities to say "hedge duck" out loud

e: also sometimes "the hedge duck"

I think they're worried that they wouldn't mind playing/living in Arizona so left it off their list, but wouldn't want to play/live in SLC and won't have the chance to update their lists before the move

In other extremely interesting news TONIGHT the eastern conference battle of fraudulence continues. Pens/Wings in a must win. Caps/Sabres with everyone wondering which Sabres team shows up. The bad one or the slightly less bad one. Philadelphia takes on a red hot Rangers team...who are 8-2 in their last 10. Don't check who those losses are. Will Philadelphia get off the bus? Will their goaltending stop a beach ball? Or can the Flyers pull the ultimate chaos move and make the Rangers recent losses an all Metro trifecta? The Devils are in action and no one cares. Somehow the most fraudulent of the bunch. Finally, can Montreal continue to provide entertainment against the elite loser point team in the league? Who knows! No matter what something funny will happen.

I’m really blown away by MacKinnon‘s bursts of speed. He makes defenders look like they’re stuck in quicksand over and over again.

He times when he drops low to accelerate out of the d-zone really well. So by the time he hits the blue line he's already going 75-80% and the defenders are only just starting to move at 40-50%. It makes everyone look slow, and his top speed being stupid fast makes it even more obvious when he's going 22mph by the o-zone blue line. So you either retreat early and just let them break out uncontested, or you give up a high danger chance. And with MacKinnon's shooting this year those are going in. I can't even be mad he had a 4-point night against Minnesota, he was just incredible the whole game. I lied. I can be annoyed. Save it for when you're playing Winnipeg or Dallas.

McNabb has another year, but Marchessault’s deal expires. So does Mantha, and Chandler, so they have roughly 15-16m coming off the books.

Mind you, signing Hanifin, and then having one of Stone or Lehner come back, eats that up quickly. But, I have learned Vegas will always do something interesting.
