SDS Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Just now, ... said: Yes, Lindy's approval is a given. My point is that it's thanks to Appert this guy showed up on the radar. Didn’t someone just mention that Lindy saw him firsthand in the playoffs Caps vs the Devils? My apologies if this is a stupid question, I did not look up any of this myself.

My apologies if this is a stupid question, I did not look up any of this myself. Totally possible. We're both speculating on how this player showed up on the Sabres radar and then warranted a second round pick. If both Ruff and Appert were aware of him it makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look at how many defensemen they had under contract prior to these moves. They didn’t have a top 4. They had a top 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeSchmoe Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 (edited) I just got back on the grid after camping the last few days. Just saw this pickup and was horrified like everybody else. I saw the post by @bg17. I looked into it and it wasn't quite right, his number of shifts on the fly was not out of line. What WAS out of line was the defensive zone starts. I haven't gone through all 8 pages, but did someone post this? This would HIGHLY skew his expected goal stats. Could the Sabres advanced analytics crew have a correction factor for the standard advanced stats based on the extreme number of defensive zone starts? Edit: I just checked again and he had the 2nd lowest in the league offensive zone starts as well. So 2nd most defense starts, 2nd least offensive starts. I can't say for sure but I think our guys did some homework. Was a 2nd too much? Maybe. Is it a guaranteed bust of a move? I'm thinking it might not be.

triumph_communes Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 We were all in agreement all we needed was a mature bottom 6. We identified a guy who isn’t way overpaid just hitting his prime. Adam’s doing his job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerreaultForever Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 I just watched Adams post draft presser and he thinks this guy fills the teams need for physicality. This franchise is so clueless it's beyond absurdity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeSchmoe Posted June 30 Report Share Posted June 30 (edited) Just looking at this thread again, I see my previous post was too wordy. Here's the summary: Malenstvn had the 2ND HIGHEST DEFENSIVE ZONE % starts in the league (next to his linemate). He also had the 2ND LEAST OFFENSIVE ZONE % starts in the league. Regular stats or even entry level advanced stats don't apply to this guy. Edited June 30 by JoeSchmoe Added the % 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
