  4. Around The NHL 2018/2019

    From Murat's piece in The Athletic today...relating what Matthews contract may mean for the Jets....

    Bang on.

    In short: any five-year deal for Laine or Connor should come in well below $11.6 million AAV. This is not shocking in the slightest.

    Instead, my biggest takeaway here is to forget what 2019 has told you so far: Laine has separated himself from Connor in career point production. In fact, Laine could score zero points through the rest of this season and still finish it with a higher career point-per-game rate than Connor has today.

    Despite my focus on offence, I’m not arguing that point production is everything. I am arguing that, despite present day perception, Connor has yet to reach Laine’s tier and, with just over a year between them in age, there is no reason to expect that to change over the course of each player’s second contract.

    Patrik Laine: 20 years old, 169 points, 208 GP
    1.20 goals per 60 minutes 5-on-5
    1.66 primary points per 60 minutes 5-on-5
    3.07 goals per 60 minutes 5-on-4
    3.86 primary points per 60 minutes 5-on-4

    Season splits:
    36-28-64 in 74 GP
    44-26-70 in 82 GP
    25-10-35 in 53 GP

    Kyle Connor: 22 years old, 104 points in 149 GP
    0.89 goals per 60 minutes 5-on-5
    1.43 primary points per 60 minutes 5-on-5
    2.03 goals per 60 minutes 5-on-4
    2.47 primary points per 60 minutes 5-on-4
    Third pairing PK time

    Season splits:
    2 seasons. 149 total GP
    2-3-5 in 20 GP
    31-26-57 in 76 GP
    22-20-42 in 53 GP

    Moose have low(er) attendance now because the Jets are back so entertainment funds are spread thin, and BellMTS in general isn't cheap to see an event at.  Then there's every Winnipegger's fave topic....parking!   If the Dub comes in at a competitive price point, I think they steal Moose fans simply because of the convenience factor.  

    That and suburbanites are petrified of the core, but that's another story for a different thread!

    So ol Pete makes Joe Mack look like a competent GM.  That said, EDM's problems go way beyond Petey. 

    Gretzky, Gretzky 2, Lowe, McTavish, Nicholson... too many cooks in the kitchen.

    Jets list Chevy, Zinger and Simmonds in their mgmt team... that's it, that's all.  Then a few dozen scouts.  Oilers would be wise to follow suit... I hope they don't, tbh.

    “I’ll leave that up to the fans. Let’s do a poll and see how they feel about it and we’ll go from there, Durant said on CJME 980 The Green Zone hosted by Jaime Nye.

    “We’ll see how that goes. I know that there are a lot of people that would love me.”

    The poll has spoken, douchebag.  Time to go away.  Like, yesterday.
