2 teams in Florida is enough. 32 teams in the league is also plenty. If the NFL has 32 teams and NBA and MLB have 30 teams, then the NHL doesn't need more than 32.

Apparently from his model, Nikishin is your 4th best one, go figure. https://buymeacoffee.com/nickthehabsfan/winter-2025-prospect-pool-rankings

I wouldn’t say often, the list is pretty solid but there is exceptions

Eller is a center and more consistent than Armia but yes, I care more about whether a player is tradable under a given contract than whether the contract is the best value we can get.

I'm not. My question is more, what's the equivalent of a PPG season for a defenseman? What type of season does a defenseman needs to have to beat a PPG center in it's rookie year? Last year both Faber and Hughes had fantastic seasons and still lost to Bedard. I'm somewhat expecting the same but...

2yx3 I'd do it. 3x3 I'd think about it. That's it. The way he's playing *right now* is valuable, but it's Armia and you never know when he'll revert to a ghost.

It's who's rookie is having the best season. It's hard to compare across positions, it's a lot harder for rookies to make an impact on defense than it is for forwards, and it's harder to qualify their impact as well. Only 5 defensemen have won it in the past 25 years, and only 3 goalies (none...

I think he's just using someone else model. I saw him say that he used NHLe (NHL equivalency), but I haven't seen how it works for prospects.

Well here's the details of his prospects rankings. https://buymeacoffee.com/nickthehabsfan/winter-2025-prospect-pool-rankings

Whenever you do a model, you need to tweak it based on whether the results make sense. Does the cut off makes sense? Is the weighting of prospect quality makes sense? Etc.

Yeah, I'd still like to have quality prospects coming up in 2-3 years.

Being a core contributor to a winning team that wasn't winning without you is definitely an argument. That being said, the Sharks are also winning more with Macklin than without him.

17 points in last 17 games, +1, playing 23 minutes per game on first pair and PP, on a team that is currently winning and playing a major role in it. It's close.

I'd like to add 2 more 1st rounders in our pipeline. But depends on who's available for trade.

8 has been really good lately. He always have a few games here and there where he's terrible, but most of the time he's really good.

He's worth his contract this year though. To the point where we might think of resigning him.

I'd probably do another year of drafting before trading picks for players, but we're getting close to that stage

Michkov having a higher defensive rating than Hutson should indicate some issues with your model, Dom.

MSL must be pretty happy to see all his teachings coming together like this. I've also seen him more active behind the game lately, doing a bit more line matching and shortening the bench.

I don’t think anyone who saw him play have much doubt, his biggest issue isn’t his minus but Celibrini being awesome as well
