He left Couturier (the winner) off his Selke ballot as well.

Calvin De Haan or Darnell Nurse for about $4.5M? Seems like a tough choice for me.

I don't know if that translates to what salary they should make since it's saying Lagesson is worth $200k which is obviously impossible.

I had a dream that Koskinen posted a .915 season and Holland re-signed him for 2 years, 3M per. I woke up and was drenched with meh.

I had a different variation of the same dream. For whatever reason I was house shopping with Mikko and we looked at two places. I had a bad feeling about the first place, a dejavu case, actually. The second was nice but then I woke up in a sweat and with a patch of bedbug bites....

If he has a good season, which isn't really possible, you trade him at the deadline, get someone else, and then laugh when the inevitable happens with Koskinen.

Yes. By next year Skinner or Kono should be pushing for Smiths backup

Would you trade him at the deadline to maximize return or cross your fingers and hope he can play well in the playoffs?

How good? Like if he plays most games and has a .925 or better save %.. yeah I probably keep him, unless he completely chokes in the playoffs.

I think the problem is that you have these analytic people doing this type of stuff and theres really no consequence for their actions. And then they release it out to millions of people on the internet. They write this stuff and if its controversial, like you said, it drives up more discussion and clicks about it. And I am sure that they dont actually watch the games with the players playing because its damn near impossible, to watch every player in this league. Its like an Oilers fan suddenly becoming an expert on Foegele and Borgault after watching a couple clips on the internet about them. Dom probably only watches Nurse when he plays the Leafs. I am sure that he even knows enough to know that Nurse isnt a 4.5 million dollar player ... but I doubt he cares ... its good for business and his model is awesome.

Really depends at the goalie situation at the time. But theoretically no. If he's playing well, why trade him...makes zero sense

This is the Oilers not the Flyers.
Well, you have to consider the oiler effect, where ex-oilers do seem to do better on other teams...

There’s history with his inconsistency from year to year so trading him would be a legitimate consideration in that situation imo.

Edmonton Oilers contract efficiency, per Dom Luszczyszyn
The other thing funny about the chart is that hes showing Klefbom as a 60% chance to reach the value of his contract. Based on what? He hasnt played in forever. Hes not likely to even play again. I mean you can write out whatever your model spits out, but obviously there are cases where you cant write down what the model tells you.

Edmonton Oilers contract efficiency, per Dom Luszczyszyn
I had time for analytics a few years ago when it started gaining popularity, but I really do think they're ruining fans perspectives.
I'm so sick of seeing WAR charts every single time a signing has been made.
Player discussion was so much more thought provoking and interactive back when we all watched the games and evaluated what we saw. It's impossible to make player assessments and have opinions now without someone challenging it with analytic numbers.

No I consider that to be a thing that so many assume and internalize like it doesn't happen with every other team in the league.
Steve Mason for Sergei Bobrovsky, that's what I was referencing if you where wondering.

If he goes prime Hasek then keep him. I’d probably rather trade him in season though.

I'm thinking more like Dubnyks revitalization after the fans ran him out of town. I was one of them, so I look at it as a very real possibility.

"dom" tweeted out Nurse's value was $35.2M over eight years the day the contract was was signed.
