What makes a successful season?

[King'sPawn]

I post my criteria for players since years, i don't have to make up for anything.

Just because it didn't happen yet doesn't mean we can't
Kempe and Fiala are already 30 goal scrorer, Villardi would be without injuries.
Kaliev scored 14 with 4th line duties and a couple of seconds play time every game.
Fagemo does nothing else than scoring goals in the AHL
That's potential five 30 goal scorer not including the other youngsters

There is a big chance to have 4 top wingers if we do it right

I hope you've never watched porn, because I'm pretty sure you'd have even less realistic expectations based on what you'd see there.

Wait, so Fiala is considered a 30 goal scorer even though he's hit 30 goals only once before? Why is Kopitar then not a 90 point scorer if we're going by that criteria? And according to your logic Kempe is an 18 goal scorer.
You seem like the type of guy who would give Kadri a big contract just because he almost hit 90 points once.

It's incredibly difficult to have and pay FOUR 30 goal scorers not to mention you want a center who scores like 80 points, it's basically unheard of.

But we can pull it off.
Kempe gave us a gift to sign for only $5.5 Mill

meeting or exceeding expectations

 

[Statto]

Basically i meassure Centers by points per season
Wingers by goals per season
Defenders by +/-
Goalies by Wins

The question is do I have the will power to explain (let’s face it I’ll have to do it 20 different ways and you still won’t get it) why you can’t assess a D-Man on +/-. Then I’ll need to discuss you assess a goalie just on wins.

The answer is easy actually, I don’t. I’ll just say you cannot assess properly ANY player on a single metric. There isn’t a single stat that doesn’t require, nuance, context and other statistics to give it meaning. That’s a fact. In fact that principle applies to every damn subject you want to attribute any number to.

You do realise this is now about everyone trying to understand how you process your incredibly flawed logic, not the hockey point you are trying to make. I don’t recall ever seeing these guys ALL in agreement with each other before.

It is irrelevant to me how many guys agree now with each other.

By the guys who agree, we have a team full of HoF'ers, fantastic roleplayers and locker room guys.
And here we are being bottom feeder for years after years and two 1st round exit against a team that got ripped apart by other playoff teams.
We even had a wish list going on, which team peeps want to meet in the first round and everyone desperately wanted to meet the Kings.

I really wonder how that happens

I can't wait for the 1st round of the draft and Free Agency -- so we can talk real Kings talk

It’s fun watching Kurrilino toy with all you idiots. He evaluates players differently and he’s always done it that way. You can criticize if you want but that’s the way it is. Maybe try reading his posts?

Yeah, I learned my lesson. Not wasting my time with him anymore.

To the point about him evaluating players differently - I do want to say that I don't have a problem with people looking at players differently. Different perspectives when intelligently presented are interesting, helpful, and fun. But this isn't what's happening.

It's the equivalent of a 5 year-old making up a game to play, and when you play by the rules the child changes their own rules.

Anyway, I'm more annoyed with myself that I was stupidly arguing with him despite his inability to recognize the countless flaws in every single argument.
