@SouhanStrib@RussoHockey Question for both of you : In which professional sport is there the largest apparent gap between the top league and the next best league?
@SouhanStrib@RussoHockey What does @RussoHockey think about Zucker-Coyle-Granlund as a way to shake things up? 16&3 have had chemistry in the past.
Then Parise-Staal-Kunin/Nino and Greenway -Koivu -Nino/Kunin
Hey @_2244 have you done a relative carriage comparison between Sano and Astudillo? Seems like a topic for you and @RussosFilter to discuss on @MNsportsfanpod
@SouhanStrib@RussoHockey What is the player capacity of the Tria elevator, (which looks small from the photos), and how long before the players are tired of waiting their turn for a number of elevator trips with @RussoHockey lurking in the hallway evaluating possible injuries?
@RussoHockey@TalkNorthPod @DulonosPizza @Twill@FixologyMN@tonyhoaglund@Whizkidit I don't think you lit me up at all two weeks ago. We may differ on Granlund's value, but that's okay.
I mostly agreed with your answers this week, but still think that Foligno's facial injury contributed to how long it took to find his game and thus the negativity by the fan base
@RussosSlacks@vllstephens@CapFriendly@RussoHockey@infoseeker12@kupplerhund And at the risk of being overly optimistic, Oshie was maligned for years for playoff underperformance before breaking out... itβs not as if Zucker and Nino and Coyle canβt perform in the playoffs... they just havenβt. Just get in
@vllstephens based on last year's point totals, $9-11M should buy average of an 85 point player. $8M buys 80, $7M buys 55, $6M buys 63 $5M buys 55. I used points normalized to 82 games. Stats and cap hits pulled from @CapFriendly.
@vllstephens@CapFriendly@RussoHockey@RussosSlacks@infoseeker12@kupplerhund I only pulled forwards... So nit Suter... And the logic is anecdotal, not directly predictive... But it helps me to determine my expectations for players and to see that there is significant diminishing return on points. I see Parise as under the ave, but still 65-70 if healthy
@vllstephens these are obviously not #fancystats nor do they account for intangible, but it should give a ballpark for how many points to expect from Tavares (although I expect him to be above that playing with those TOR wingers) which is roughly what you asked on @TalkNorthPod
