Garden Gnome is a third line winger who doesn't pk or pp on our club. His 5 on the cap would be better allocated to a right shot, defensively sound 3C.

I'm kinda worried Joshua wont be as impactful without him. He (imo) was the driving force of that dominant 3rd line, which imo was a major reason for our success. If we trade him I think it could really come back to bite us Joshua is due for a huge regression this season either way. He had the 3rd best shooting percentage in the league last season at 23.7% on 84 shots on goal. There is no way that continues. For the record Hoglander and Boeser also had unsustainable shooting percentages. Expect to see thier goal totals come down as well. Now that's not to say any of those guys aren't good players. But anyone counting on them to repeat what they did last season is most likely going to be disappointed. The season before it was Kuzmenko who had an unrepeatable shooting percentage, and we all know how that turned out 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be right, but then again you may be wrong... If management believed you were right, I doubt they would have handed him a new improved contract. Hogs and Boeser again had above predicted shooting %, but Boeser is lethal when n fire... we seen it before in his first season. We shall see, I'm sure, but I think Joshua will be having a great season, and I actually think the whole team is gonna go on a roll.....if the D can do their end of the deal...

If Petey gets more ice time, he will most definitely put up more points. He averages 2minutes less than Matthews, Crosby, Mackinnon, Draisaitl and several others, but produces at the same rate. Petey is averaging just over 13mins TOI 5v5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuzmenko on the other hand was further out for a lot of his goals, so a regression is to be expected. Although he does have a disgustingly heavy and fast wrister, so don’t be surprised if he’s back up to 20-23% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago 28 minutes ago, qwijjibo said: I WILL be surprised if he's anywhere near 20% Well I don’t exactly disagree either. But…. The good thing is, Joshua scores the LARGE majority of his goals within 3-5 ft of the goalie. So he is consistent at getting to those in tight areas, which gives him a much better chance at converting on his opportunities. Kuzmenko on the other hand scores his goals within the confines of the home plate, more so from mid-high home plate. So he is more likely to see a heavier regression due to goalies having more time to get set, tips/blocks that hit the goalie etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree Net front presence players should have a higher shooting % - in theory Great thing is that Joshua's is getting paid for what he brings, which is net front presence, 2 way game, fore checking, PK etc. He's not getting paid to be a 20-30 goal scorer 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
