@logopatt It seems like these additions are a bit more established vs guys like Joshua & Maccelli rather than reclamation projects. Still not super exciting adds, and B6 scoring doesn't seem to be a priority
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette I'm sorry but if this is the "research" you are doing, that's just sad. It's missing Roy, Cowan, and McMann, all who played more. I can't believe I've been arguing with someone using AI hallucinations to prove their points. Let's just call it here
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette Laughton played a full minute more than Robertson. In fact, Robby's ice time was closer to that of Jarnkrok and Lorentz than it was to Scotty
And none of them played under 11 minutes. I think you're the one who needs to do some research
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette "Research" is quoting google AI?
If
Players 1-3 play 18-19mins
Players 4-6 play 16-17mins
Players 7-9 play 14-15mins
Players 10-12 play 11-13mins
Then players 10-12 are 4th liners
I'm sorry that in your head 4th liners can only be sub-10min, but that didn't happen on the Leafs
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette If there are 12 forwards on the ice in a game, the three guys playing the fewest minutes are the ones playing 4th line minutes
I don't know why you are married to this rigid minute identification
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette I can understand why the AI would say that. He fit the 3rd line winger archetype. But the amount of time he was given to affect the game was 11th among forwards. 10 other players were given more opportunity than him on a regular basis. Therefore, he was given 4th line minutes
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette But as you pointed out he is on PP2. So he gets special teams time, but there are over three lines of forwards with more time on the ice than him
Not a single regular on the Leafs has under 11min/night.
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette Sorry but in the modern NHL teams don't consistently play guys 8mins/night. You roll 4 lines
So how can Robertson be a 3rd liner when there are 10 guys ahead of him?
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette He was 11th among toi for forwards on the Leafs (min. 40gp). That is a 4th liner. But despite sub-13min a night he put up 16 in a team-wide offensively-depressed season
@Cammer17@JeffVeillette 4th line minutes on a Berube-coached team and he did well. Give him proper minutes on an offensively-minded team and he does better
