I just don’t see how a 60 pts Winger can be worth more than a #1 RHD. I just can’t...
Lol, Captain Crunch is calling me clueless, so cute.
Nylander is coming off an ELC Hamilton has a couple seasons left until he'll become massively overpaid for declining UFA years. Which asset has the most long term return for the investment. Nylander prime years are ahead of them while Hamilton is pretty much in his prime.
The age difference matters in this context but you, me, everyone reading this already knows that, so spare me the 'clueless' bs.
Oh and Hamilton is right handed Jake Gardiner, dude is meh.
would help if he was a #1 hes nt, hes a num 2.
NYLANDER IS NOT AVAILABLE
Hard to call a player a number 1 defender when they play the 4th most ATOI at even strength of any flames defender.Still claims of Hamilton not being a num 1 even though I just posted proof of this on the last page. If you're going to say he's not, prove it with statistics!!
5.75* but your point standsNo, Flames don't need Nylander more than they need Hamilton. If you ever a trade a top pairing dman signed to 5.25 with length, you better get a sure fire top line RWer with size.
A difference in zone starts, even if it were on the two opposite ends of the spectrum (which I don't believe it is) doesn't explain the huge gap in numbers.Hard to call a player a number 1 defender when they play the 4th most ATOI at even strength of any flames defender.
The Gio-Hamilton pair is also used in the offensive zone more than the Brodie-Hamonic pairing so that would partly explain the difference between the shot metrics of each pairing.
Also the stats you posted on the other page lack context. When Hamilton wasn't playing with Gio, Hamilton was playing with Brodie with easier usage while Gio was still playing on the top pairing with Hamonic (or Stone).
Agreed that the 10% of the time spent away from Gio was too small to draw any really conclusions.A difference in zone starts, even if it were on the two opposite ends of the spectrum (which I don't believe it is) doesn't explain the huge gap in numbers.
Almost all of Hamilton's time away from Gio was on the fly and it's a super small sample size so I doubt there is anything to be drawn from it anyways. But Hamilton having amazing analytics isn't exactly new he was the exact same way in Boston.
