Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

[zeke]

isn't the Hyman thing over yet? so many grittier guys having better years than him like Mangiapane and Wilson.

so lazy just to trigger leafs fans - Hyman would never have been mentioned by anyone if he was still a leaf.

 

[Artnes]

I dont trust Wilson to not go full dumpster fire and try putting someone through the boards

IIHF refs will boot him within the first game

 

[hockeylover]

The Hyman thing is pretty weird since Bunting stepped into his spot and is nearly matching Hyman's point production except with half the PP time/game and not on PP1?

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

A new potential candidate for the vacant GM position with the Habs has emerged. Former SC Bern GM (and first ever female general manager of a men's professional team) Florence Schelling is rumored to be in the mix. Based on her "body of work" I'd be prepared to offer her the job right now if I were in Jeff Gorton's shoes.

 

[Artnes]

and at a fraction of the cap hit

16pts vs 7pts 5v5. Hyman should be nowhere near the discussion

 

[Habsy]

Yep, Auston can't wait to sign there

There won’t be a “there” when he’s ufa

You’re such a lewd individual

Keep up the good work

 

[MindzEye]

Want clicks? Trigger Leafs fan.

But for the sake of conversation Hyman and Wilson on the team is clown shoes

The team builder in question was a recent AGM for the Sabres. Which kind of says everything we need said on the matter.

 

[MindzEye]

There won’t be a “there” when he’s ufa

And he'll never be a UFA

 

[Habsy]

And he'll never be a UFA

Well if there’s no team from your home state you go with your second home. I hear he winters in Toronto.

 

[JackBurton]

Everytime they've gone the route of Zamuner, Draper they've lost. It's a dumb idea. Load up with talent. Hyman doesn't belong.
Wilson is real good but he'll end up in some hard labour camp if he goes to China.

 

[hockeylover]

At least they've realized AZ was an idiotic prediction. LA at least makes a bit more sense.

Still, stars at his level typically resign.

 

[zeke]

You'd figure they'd troll leaf fans by moving on to Kadri now, at least.


Team Canada by PPG - looking Hyman's production this year only:

Team A

Marchand 1.26 --- McDavid 1.79 --- MacKinnon 1.38
Huberdeau 1.20 --- Kadri 1.48 --- Stamkos 1.17
Tavares 1.04 --- Crosby 1.00 --- Stone 1.15
Duchene 1.00 --- RNH 0.96 --- Kyrou 1.00

Team B

Thomas 0.92 --- Dubois 0.92 --- Wilson 0.92
Bertuzzi 0.90 --- Couture 0.92 --- Perron 0.90
Duclair 0.89 --- Stephenson 0.88 --- Marner 0.88
Johsansen 0.88 --- Getzlaf 0.87 --- Giroux 0.88

Team C

Killorn 0.84 --- Bergeron 0.86 --- Strome 0.86
Verhaeghe 0.80 --- Point 0.81 --- Marchessault 0.80
Domi 0.79 --- Scheifele 0.79 --- Hyman 0.79
Schwartz 0.78 --- Gourde 0.76 --- Mangiapane 0.77

Team D

Smith 0.76 --- McCann 0.75 --- Eberle 0.74

Foligno 0.68 --- Cirelli 0.68 --- Marchment 0.70
Suzuki 0.67 --- Jenner 0.67 --- Barzal 0.67


​

I mean, Wilson kind of has a legit argument at least. Both production and being a legit physical presence.


2-year PPG gives us a better picture though:

Team A

Marchand 1.29 --- McDavid 1.85 --- Stone 1.12
Huberdeau 1.14 --- MacKinnon 1.36 --- Marner 1.11
Stamkos 1.00 --- Crosby 1.10 --- Scheifele 1.04
Tavares 0.94 --- Bergeron 0.88 --- Perron 1.00

Team B

Kane 0.88 --- O'Reilly 0.87 --- Strome 0.87
Bertuzzi 0.86 --- Point 0.85 --- Kadri 0.85
Verhaghe 0.82 --- Couturier 0.80 --- Giroux 0.82
Duclair 0.79 --- Barzal 0.78 --- Marchessault 0.80

Team C

Hyman 0.78 --- RNH 0.76 --- Toffoli 0.78
McCann 0.75 --- Stephenson 0.75 --- Wilson 0.78
Reinhart 0.73 --- Suzuki 0.71 --- Kyrou 0.75
Bunting 0.67 --- Gourde 0.68 --- Couture 0.69

On second thought, maybe Wilson should be on the team after all then!

 

[Preston]

My Canada:

Marchand - McDavid - Marner
Crosby - MacKinnon - Point
Huberdeau - Bergeron - Stamkos
Ritchie - Tavares - Stone

 

[zeke]

GSVA

McDavid 6.0 --- MacKinnon 4.9 --- Stone 3.2
Marchand 5.1 --- Crosby 2.9 --- Bergeron 4.1
Huberdeau 3.4 --- Point 3.6 --- Stamkos 3.3
Hyman 2.8 --- Tavares 3.3 --- Marner 3.4
(Couturier 2.7 --- O'Reilly 2.7 --- Kadri 2.6)

 

[JackBurton]

Someone actually wrote a piece and mentioned 'intangibles" in regards to a short Olympic tournament. LOL.
BTW, are they going North America or international ice size?

You want to repeat to Zamuner/Draper's getting on a team and ignore last 2 Olympics I guess. The worry is Armstrong has made some really old school stupid comments. Should have gone with big name NHL legend like Wayne, Yzerman.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

You’re such a lewd individual

Keep up the good work

It's part of my charm.

 

[hockeylover]

League rarely ventures out of the box, do they?

 

[JackBurton]

So they hire a coach first, even though they were going to hire a GM shortly after, and they pick Rutherford?
Habs did a much better job at this.
