Dom's model has always overrated the Leafs offensive talent because of how it projects the aging curve and its weight on individual contribution, like similarly you'll notice this year Matthew Tkachuk is now the third-most valuable forward in the league (that we've seen, anyway) based off of one great season at 24. Despite him recognizing its flaws and tweaking his model I assume he's also still underrating defence and goaltending a little too.

But one look at Micah's goaltending breakdown in his model explanation should be all you need to realize that these guys aren't trying to predict the future, he's picked splits that are both too-neat and basically arbitrary. The season predictions are mostly for hype because fans eat this stuff up, each model is a jumble of judgement calls and acceptable weirdness after tossing a bunch of numbers in a blender. JFresh came out and said there's stuff he doesn't agree with at all in his model, but he put it out anyway because generating discussion and having results that differ slightly from popular sentiment is the whole point of these things.

Matthew Tkachuk was the third most valuable forward on his line last year. any model that rates him this highly is, for lack of a better word, fuckin dumb

I'll concede that the numbers do seemingly show that McDavid has put much more of a focus on defence in recent seasons. I guess it's fair to say he's improved from historically awful to not terrible. However, for all the talk there was about him working on that he still looks like a mopey bloodhound whenever he has to do anything at all on his own side of centre.

we can all still agree that he's a big dumb poohead

Are you suggesting Adrian Kempe and Nick Ritchie won't be competing for the Rocket Richard trophy, come May?

Kempe will because I picked him in a hockey pool
