Vesalainen - 57 gms, 5 pts
Glass - 70 gms, 22 pts
I'll take glass thanks.
Preds got him for practically nothing. He is playing well in the AHL this year, which is where Vesalainen should be.
Ryan Ellis is practically nothing? Vesalainen has been by far the worst performing 1st rounder we have taken that is for sure. I am just saying Cody Glass was taken 6th overall 4 years ago and has tallied 0 points this year in the NHL. Cody Glass so far has been a bigger disappointment than Kristian Vesalainen. Imagine the uproar here if Scheifele, Ehlers, or Trouba had to play in the AHL when they were 22.

Brooks news!
Hopefully we find out one day what Svech did to make Lowry hate him so much.
Which numbers? Just curious.Lowry doesn't seem too happy with Svech, but also the numbers seemed to say at the time that Svech was a fortunate passenger of the dominant duo of Connor and Dubois, and wasn't really adding anything to the line.

Svech seems a bit flakey, and he's like alot of bottom 6 players who seem to have the skills but just cannot consistently generate chances. He will play very physical one shift and disappear the next. Question his hockey IQ which dooms so many bottom players from delivering the potential they seem to have.
It wouldn't surprise me if it's that the clever coaches think his playing style looks lackluster, and therefore want to play ineffective but hard working players ahead of him, damn the results.Sure, he has flaws - but he is a LOT better than some who are playing.

I was just curious as most metrics with/without show being slightly stronger with him. Just a glance though and the sample without him is considerably higher now.I'd have to search for them as I'm primarily going off of memory at the time.

It’s pretty odd though.
I think the overall metrics I'm remembering may end up with the line being slightly better with Svech than without but his impact was really negligible. I can't seem to find them with just a quick search but I will find them.
Yeah, I think this is the main point. The line was effective when he was a part of it and nobody other than Perfetti has shown they even belong in a bottom 6 role, let alone a top 6 one.The line was better with him. His individual numbers might have mattered when the alternative was Perfetti. It certainly didn't matter when the alternatives were Poganski and Vesalainen. We'll see how Brooks manages there. But if Brooks does well we should still see Svech in the bottom 6 ahead of Poganski and Vesalainen - and it isn't even close. Its flipping ridiculous. It almost looks like Lowry doesn't want to be a HC in the NHL.

I'd rather have a fortunate passenger than an unfortunate one.Lowry doesn't seem too happy with Svech, but also the numbers seemed to say at the time that Svech was a fortunate passenger of the dominant duo of Connor and Dubois, and wasn't really adding anything to the line.
