Leafs gave up a second to get this guy at the 2023 TDL. We gave up a fifth. The guy is a player. Another fabulous move to build us a great team by Allvin. 

Yeah they were in a place where someone had to go and we benefited from it. He drove the play hard on that one goal, looked determined all night, great job there!

But, but, that 5th couldve become another Lafferty!!!?!?

 

So much better to wait 5 years for another Lafferty that most likely won't become another Lafferty than have Lafferty right now!

 

Let's just be scared of making trades like these and never get better! 😉

Why do you always post numbers without acknowledging context? There’s a world of difference between a guy who has injury issues and puts up 45-55 points in 65-75 games and a guy who plays a full season and puts up that many points. Both have strengths and weaknesses but that context is masssssssively important. 

 

Beyond that…

 

rookie season 17/18: .89 ppg

18/19: .81

19/20: .79

20/21: .875

21/22: .65

22/23: .74


the rookie season wasn’t as much of an outlier as the 21/22 one was. Take away those two and he sits at .80 a game, leave them and he’s at…. Wait for it .79. 

 

over the course of an 82 game season the difference is….. roughly 1 point. 
 

pro rated to an 82 game season his numbers would be (for the sake of a little bit of context)

 

17/18: 72

18/19: 66

19/20: 64

20/21: 71

21/22: 53

22/23: 60

 

Now, if you want to argue that injuries are an issue, great; you’d be right. But the ‘he’s a 44-55 point guy and that’s the end of the discussion’ schtick is just that. It lacks context that’s incredibly important to the discussion.

For the record it would be equally asinine for someone to only ever say, ‘Brock is a .78/.79 point per game player’ without being able to recognize his absence from the lineup means those points don’t ultimately translate into 60+ points every year. 
 

There’s a tension that exists with players like Brock (guys who have injury issues) that needs to be acknowledged from both ends. 

 

And as you were saying?

Please continue..

The Vancouver Canucks have used an emergency recall on forward Jack Studnicka. The team played down a forward in their season opener against the Edmonton Oilers, making them eligible to bring up Studnicka without a cap hit. Studnicka will be exempt from waivers if he plays in fewer than 10 games, or is on the roster for fewer than 30 days.

 

Studnicka appeared in 47 games with Vancouver last season after the team acquired him via trade, sending Michael DiPietro and Jonathan Myrenberg to the Boston Bruins. Studnicka recorded a mere eight points in those 47 games – setting career highs in both categories. The 24-year-old forward was a second-round draft pick in the 2017 NHL Draft and has yet to find consistent NHL playing time, spending most of his early career in either the AHL or an NHL press box. He did have a serviceable 35 points in 41 AHL games during the 2021-22 season, speaking hope to his scoring upside. He’s likely to slot into a Canucks lineup that is still missing Ilya Mikheyev, who is continuing to rehab an ACL injury suffered last season.
