@2MINIHULK Defensive ability is hard to project for prospects + more volatile.

Getting a guy who can carry the puck >
(Plus would put less on macklins plate.)

[Royal @Royal___17]

@BaileyMacWulf @aj_strong Defense imo iseasier to learn compared to offensive skill + more variance year to year.

Get the guy who will be a force offensively. System + age will improve defensively if they want to enough.

Argument should be with Reid’s offensive projection over his defensive ability.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@BaileyMacWulf @aj_strong We need someone other than Macklin to be able to exit and enter. Which iirc is a strength of Reid. Part of why I’m good if sharks select Reid at 2 along that it’s a need + other reasons.

Plus I don’t think we should worry about prospects defensive ability as much as we do.

@LEHK0NEN Who’s ready for when they trade for Larkin? And no matter the cost ppl will celebrate him for fixing their center depth.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@yolo_pinyato I think this is Pagnotta not knowing puck tbh

[Royal @Royal___17]

@LEHK0NEN Sharks: Stenberg or Reid at 2
XV at 20
Profit

[Royal @Royal___17]

@theTonyFerrari @HadiK_Scouting Agreed, but gms don’t want to take those risks bc their jobs are on the line.

But teams that take advantage of it are huge beneficiaries until it changes.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@theTonyFerrari @HadiK_Scouting Survivorship bias. We notice the small kings that make it but don’t see all those that end up not making it.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@SlovakShark He follows Reid already fwiw

[Royal @Royal___17]

@FowleBall15 Wouldn’t be so sure of that. Still possibility of them liking Reid more. But a good chance Stenberg is a Shark if they stick at 2nd.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@NHL_Watcher Almost every cub couldnt hit in May. Pitching hasn’t been the best either.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@RonoAnalyst Very curious if they’re willing to part with Hage bc he would have to be part of the deal I’d assume.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@yolo_pinyato Do you have a radar chart for Greer?

[Royal @Royal___17]

@LEHK0NEN Ppl think he only scores and brings nothing else bc the US didn’t bring him to the Olympics 💔🥀

@frosty20_20 @AR_Analytics @FortyFiveJamie @TylerReddick @dennyhamlin @CBellRacing @KyleLarsonRacin @jeff_gluck Still got 3rd at Cota but yeah. Just needs to get the monkey off his back with a win. Been so close but strategy/luck hasn’t been on his side this season.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@frosty20_20 @AR_Analytics @FortyFiveJamie @TylerReddick @dennyhamlin @CBellRacing @KyleLarsonRacin @jeff_gluck Probably bc we’ve only had 2 RC one of which was probably his worst RC performance without a bad wreck in a long while.

With no RC in the chase he just needs to string together results now and peak during the chase.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@TORCARonMotors @SpinoExx @ashtheblaneyfan Post race fight 👀

[Royal @Royal___17]

@Ek65Burner I agree with that on Verhoeff. But I’m not scared of Reid’s traits. And like the offensive upside over Verhoeff enough so where id take him instead of Verhoeff.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@oldtymer11 @Ek65Burner Analytically he’s quite fine on defense. Plus it’s not as linear/predictable to say they’re bad now and will stay bad.

Each dmen has a concern. Id take Reid’s turnovers and hope he improves that.

[Royal @Royal___17]

@catswasteland @SlovakShark I feel like most coaches don’t really treat young players the best.

It also didn’t help we ended up being in a playoff push. Hopefully next season is better.
