With all the trade theories and discussion happening, I thought this article was timely.

  1. Dallas doesn’t have the upper hand on CBJ on this. So that ask would be out of the question.

  2. Too many bad takes and over-analysis for me to get through the entire article. Corsi-differential isn’t telling me anything. Even if you do Corsi differential weighted to the players team as an indicator of how good the player really is, it’d be a really bad measure. Robo isn’t doing anything on the Larsen and Vincent led teams and probably wouldn’t even be considered a great player. Playing with Hintz and JoPa helps, ALOT. I’ve made this comment before, but if you put a traffic cone out with Z and Z creates a ton more opportunities than the opposing team, is that traffic cone a good player?

    Robertson is a hardworking all around player, but KJ is a possession monster who pivots the team incredibly well with his ability to carry the puck or make correct reads to release teammates in transition. He’s also made huge strides in his skating and should improve again this offseason. The only thing Robo has over him is size. KJ proved that he’s an incredible and savvy goal scorer this year. I don’t need Corsi, I just need to look at each player’s tape. Robo has played with incredible players since starting in the league, under a coach who gets results and structures the neutral zone well.

    We don’t have any really good right hand wings and Marchy was one of the best two way wingers with Monny. Trading him away for a LH wing who would be a question mark playing beside Monny or Fantilli would be braindead. He’s not a better skater than Marchy, Marchy has really good motion tracking stats, I don’t think he has better puck skills either. He’s probably a bit better getting around the net and finishing, but Marchy means a lot to the team.

    Ik this is probably just a fun exercise, but it would just be dumb to trade either player.

  3. I like his work as a stats person, but he seems to kind of hate this team.

    Hockey PDO podcast digs into a lot of the stats of teams, and there has been three separate instances this season where they have had a pretty positive analysis on us, even from a statistical level, while he simultaneously shits all over us.

  4. Marchy

    Get out of here.

  5. I just finished reading it, and I agree with the takes here. No way would I make that trade.

    E: I’m happy everyone else seems to think it’s a bad idea too lol
