@NYRLouie@DSAlarm@NYRChip23 QoT is relative to your team it’s not a measure of who’s playing with better skaters. And yes Point is a better finisher and goal scorer than larkin. But Larkin is 15% higher ev offense he is CLEAR as a offensive and defensive player give him Kuch and he puts up his points & more
@NYRLouie@DSAlarm@NYRChip23 Yes. Thats why points don’t matter to me. It’s a 15% difference in EV offense. Point happens to have a 12.5 on ice sh% to larkins 9.5% that is a ginormous difference to have over 3 seasons of hockey. Points are basically just situation based and not a good measure of offense impa
@NYRLouie@DSAlarm@NYRChip23 I agree with that last paragraph I care a lot about system and deployment another reason I rate Larkin highly. I rank Makar 6th for reference, could be 5th but rn 6th
@NYRLouie@DSAlarm@NYRChip23 The common theme is evolving hockey has a lot of people over larkin but other models have larkin over them it’s now become a kind of pointless back and forth lol
@NYRLouie@DSAlarm@NYRChip23 I want my team to be good consistently even if it means “making the future worse” I don’t want a 5+ year rebuild which a lot of people disagree with but it’s just how I watch sports. so yes I want to trade for Larkin because I believe he’s a 1C
@NYRLouie@DSAlarm@NYRChip23 Jfresh and hockeyviz. Also I disagree heavily on Larkin being a bad defender look at almost any year he’s had defensively on hockeystats besides this one and hockeyviz considering the comp he plays he’s a good defender. I don’t think he’ll cost a ton -
