Cut the crap.
Slice the turds.
Slap chop the white worms.

Tapeworms in the poo-poo?

I don't want him showing our D anything.
He is 43, 42, 42 corsi percentage
That isn't just bad it is brutal.

Oh but that is because the team isn't good? Incorrect. The entire D core is better than him
Tough usage? Incorrect.

The stats back up the eye test.

Guhle in tougher usage is 45
Harris 48 with slightly easier usage
Matheson 45 in slightly tougher usage
Kov 47 in much tougher usage
Struble 45
Wifi 49 with soft usage

Maybe he is okay at penalty killing but the team is brutal at it.

So to answer your question. He is the worst dman on the team. Right or left hand.

Kov is the only other RHD and there is no way he's getting much tougher usage playing a full 4 minutes less per game.

If Savard was as bad as you say he is, he wouldn't be in such high demand. And yes I know some GMs are dinosaurs, but they're not all stupid, including ours.

 

[habs25th]

Wait, they're trading for him again?

Did they think the first time around was a successful stint?

Hans Landa was right about work being duplicated under new management.

You just need one desperate GM to make a market. Coaches love their plugs — look at Keefe and Lyubushkin

 

[xposbrad]

Savard looks real slow lately. Dump him and move on.

 

[WeHaveMoreCupsThanYou]

why would Ottawa trade Chyrun?

Why would they trade Chykrun to the Leafs?

He has way more D zone starts.

Your point was mentorship. So only a RHD can mentor? Weird take.


And if you want to provide some evidence of why he is not terrible I'm all ears.

And GMs still overvalue shot blocking and cup experience. The problem is that is only useful if you don't get stuck in your own end the entire time.

He's been traded for a first before... Twice

 

[Krustchev]

You and your annoying facts.

 

[Habsy]

Of course the counter argument is why was he traded when he's so good?

Issue with that argument is that it doesn't look at the player as an asset. Usage on the ice is irrelevant.

 

[GEEMAN]

Yes , but he has regressed since then

Aged is shorter to spell

 

[GEEMAN]

Aged is shorter to spell

okay , he is no bueno

 

[Habsy]

As an asset he's worth a second all day long. Ability is irrelevant. There's no argument to keeping him, Leaderbeans is BS

Lets go Hugo

We agree. GMs love guys like this. But when was the second time? I only see once.

 

[worm]

You and your annoying facts.

Only annoying because that is a different topic. And I'm not even sure it is a fact.

Because some ppl appear to be confused.

I think GMs value him. That doesn't make him a good player or mentor.

To add though. If Hughes is offered a first rounder and he doesn't take it he should be fired immediately.

The only argument to keeping him is that he helps the tank.

 

[Krustchev]

I don’t think most of us think he’s any good anymore . . . but he seems to have some value so I wouldn’t just dump him for a bag of peanuts.
