John Klingberg, D , Dallas. How can a young top 11 scoring D who plays in 23 minutes a night and in all situations still be available at this point?

 

I'm also surprised that Arviddson is still available, or Shattenkirk for that matter.

Does Vlasic just not exist anymore, too?

Taro, Eichsnipe, nfreeman.

He exists, but is now 30+, doesn't play the minutes and isn't as productive as counterparts such as Spurgeon, Klefbom, Ellis, Leddy or even Slavin.

30+ doesn't matter for the next 82 games unless he's already declining. He's still top 10 and arguably top 5 in his own zone getting absurdly difficult minutes.

Like, that arrow points to Vlasic. This is every NHL defenseman to play at least 10 games. Up&left is the most difficult usage. 

 

I don't take any of those guys over him for the next 82 games.

What is the 'relative' on the x-axis? Teammates? 

 

Do you have that graph for Sabres defensemen vs Nashville defensemen?

The only conclusions I feel comfortable drawing from this graph (of FOUR variables, take notes pi) by itself are that so and so gets tougher usage than so and so. 

It either feels like there are too many contending variables, or they're missing something

I mean, it does just fine. But nobody should feel comfortable drawing conclusions about players with only four pieces of information (especially since zone starting percentage and TOI might not have as much influence as other things), much less one piece of dubious information that hasn't had success as a stat

QoC and Cors% Relative are pretty important stats IMO

Sorry 'bout that. Some of us have to work.

Probably not next best, but he'll be chosen soon & HAVE to have me at least 1 TB D-man: Anton Stralman.

Why do u have to have a d? We aren't building 30 teams. Is Stralman better then Shattenkirk, Ellis, Vlasic, Klefbom, Spurgeon, Gardiner, or Slavin?

 

Can someone draft Arvidsson already?

He's already retired. Recently left his front office job with the Sens.

Who is next and where is s/he?  LET'S GO ALREADY.  I think that Marco Sturm gets assigned to whomever is next.
