So clip means P/60 now? Clip means PPG- this is known.
Please tell me how PPG works as a clip if one player averages more ice-time per game than another player? Its not useful because you can't benchmark that pace.
wait wait wait, but you said "Both Tatar and Domi produce at a higher clip than RNH. When you talk about ES, add Shaw, Danault, Byron, Gallagher and Drouin to that list. What are you on about?".
You said Tatar and Domi produce more, even without the ES. So basically, you just don't want to admit you were wrong about how much Domi and Tatar are producing.
Montreal scores more with a better PP? Really no ****. But they need good players to score more on the PP.
How was I wrong? I linked the site I used in this thread. Its easily accessible. Go dig through for yourself:
Natural Stat Trick
And hey, you want to lend Montreal a McDavid for their PP, then fine. But if you think its just "good" players that help PPs and not "elite" ones, then you're nuts. Coaching obviously plays a role too, but name me a good PP team and I'll point out the elite engine of that unit.
RNH is not elite.
All I'm saying is RNH would be the best center (and forward really) for Montreal. You can't use actual stats to disagree, so you divert your attention to stuff like TOI (RNH should be punished for being leaned on heavily for PK apparently), and ES (RNH should be punished for being a good PP player). You're reaching to make it seem otherwise.
TIL TOI, ES vs PP, Corsi, xGF, CoT, etc. are suddenly made up and not heavily researched outputs of data that the NHL tracks. Wow.
Listen, you want to decide player quality based on boxscores, go ahead, but I like digging deeper and watching hockey.
But just because you don't understand a stat, doesn't mean its not an "actual stat". That's not how statistics works.
I'm not sure why a player that plays more will probably produce more than a player that plays less is a difficult concept. Or that ES and PP are two different things (especially since RNH has played less than ten minutes all season on the PP without McDavid and less than 3 minutes without either McDavid or Draisaitl).
Montreal is not going to move valuable futures for someone that isn't a clear upgrade on what they have. We're not talking about McDavid or even Draisaitl here.
There are 3 players on the Oilers that Montreal would likely dig deep into their prospect pool for. McDavid, Draisaitl and Klefbom. But Edmonton would be insane to move those guys and other teams would probably beat any offer Montreal had.
But RNH? Nurse? Nah.
