Rumor: Leafs “actively shopping” Connor Carrick

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Doubt teams will line up to help the Leafs save money by taking a replacement level player.

But the "eye test" is just a mechanism people use to confirm their own biases and is therefore actively detrimental.

No. When a player waves at players, avoids contact, and goes the whole game without finishing a check. There is only one conclusion: they are not a physical player and they don't care to go in the "dirty areas". I don't see that as a bias. If you see a player constantly avoiding contact what other conclusion can you come up with?

Advanced stats guys keep using the term "sheltered role"....my eyes tell me that in an NHL game, there are very few shelered role situations. Sure... you can put him out in a situation you are comfortable with....then he's stuck on the ice due to an icing, and poof...no more shelter....just a **** storm.

Yes thats what makes the game interesting and why there is a coach for every team lol or else you wouldnt need a coach and just send out amazing player after amazing player after amazing player etc etc you get the point. It's line matching 101 and obviously if your team stinks up a bad icing you deserve to get punished for it.

By sheltered role it means generally not against other teams top point producers which not every player can consistently cover to a high level unless your a #1/2 D. Any teams 3rd pairing will get dusted on a consistent basis against other teams top lines, its literally logic and thats why teams have coaches to strategize amongst the in game changes needed.

You will never take out situations where ...o damn an icing now were screwed because we have a tired group of players abcde on against their best squad rested. Thats hockey.

Tomorrow they'll be actively waiving him.

You're right, probably just the Islanders in line right now.

Oh the world we live in; when “begging to take” becomes “actively shopping.”

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Leafs may shopping but no one is buying. Carrick might be a guy that stays in the NHL/AHL for the next five years as 6/7/8/9 Dman. Seems likes good guy but don't think he's a regular NHLer.

Are you watching the same Connor Carrick?

What?

I am talking about the eye test vs statistics debate.

Probably too late to post a highlight package like this. He may not be a Leaf in the next few weeks.

You're talking about in the context of a Connor Carrick thread, so thus my confusion.

I quoted someone attempting to avoid confusion.

I’m sure every team would trade their 8th or 9th best dman for something of value...

But much like Pickard, who the Leafs wanted to trade earlier this summer, there’s no value here.

There is value, he's a good D that would be a decent #6 or #7 on a lot of teams, the only reason there isn't much value at this particular moment is because teams likely know he's headed to waivers where they can pick him up for free.

I like Carrick, he's a good D. Way better than Polak who he was scratched for a lot of the time last season but Ozhiganov kind of stole his spot.

So many hot takes in here.

Other fan bases seem to really be worried about the Leafs.

Look who it is! My internet shadow.

And with regards to people being worried, you seem to be leading the pack.

Are they the ones worried ?

And they would be right, if not overestimating him.

What are the odds! Leafs fans posting in a thread about a Leafs player.

*Mind blown*

You really got me there.

You really did not follow the links between the posts that led you here, did you ?

The links started with you responding to a post I made.

You're grasping.

It's called optics and leverage. I guess you don't know how the sales business works.

Considering all the posters here who act like such children it wouldn't surprise me if most of them were.
