Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

And Im not seeing anything weird about Jacks start. This is exactly what he did here for 2 years. Was good for a run of games where he played well but consistently let in that muffin

Tbh the more I see Sammy's easy glove hand the more I think thats the biggest thing we've been missing for years. Our guys have just always been beaten high glove seems like.

Oil Change currently 26th and 25th xga at evens and all strengths but lets keep talking about Leafs bad at D

I literally can't think of a single player on the Oilers that is strong defensively other than Ceci.

Ceci is strong defensively?

 

[zeke]

Hyman?

he's actually never been very good defensively.

 

[LeafGm]

Ceci is strong defensively?

Yeah, do the Oilers have some other dude named Ceci that I’ve never heard of before?

 

[zeke]

Ceci was good defensively here. Nerd was right.

 

[MindzEye]

Good is a strong word

Connor Bedard 12gp 10g 21pts 76 shots

Connor Bedard 12gp 10g 21pts 76 shots

That's more Stamkos/JT/Hall/Mackinon/Strome as a pre draft prospect than it is McD, Crosby

He's young for the level though, might not even be 18 by the draft.

 

[zeke]

yeah I was thinking that <2ppg isn't exactly generational.

and I'm not sure if 6 shots per game is crazy or not.

Yeah, probably true. Though still better than Wright.

Fantilli's at 5gp, 11pts with Michigan.

 

[zeke]

Robertson was at 5.5 shots per game in his last year in junior.

 

[hockeylover]

i don't think bedard is generational, i think he's gonna be a hell of a player though.

not everyone gets a mcdavid.

 

[Habsy]

I see Patrick Kane in Bedard

 

[MindzEye]

I see Patrick Kane in Bedard

Patrick Kane put up McDavid/Crosby level production in junior. I'd argue Kane as a pro has been damn near generational level offensively. Looks like a good bet for 500+ goals and 1400-1500+ points from a generation where career star level players like Spezza, Tavares, Staal, Stamkos are struggling to crack 1000-1100.

Over the last 15 years it's basically been Crosby-Ovy-Malkin as the generational gang, with Kane the best offensive player of the rest, and by a fair bit.

 

[Habsy]

Bedard will be similar

 

[MindzEye]

I'm going to go with

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I see Patrick Kane in Bedard

It's Chicago, so this could be taken literally...

 

[hockeylover]

pretty bad start for the canucks this year.
