Here is the thing with Glachenyk, with his skillset scoring should not be an issue, he has really good size, great shot, skates really well...Has all the tools to be a really really good player. But he doesn't realize there is an offensive and defensive zone in hockey. Last night was perfect example, he got two points pretty good eh!. Not really, he ended a minus one only played just over 10 minutes of 5 on 5. Domi had no points, ended up a plus one and played over 13 minutes of 5 n 5 He is certainly one player who cannot be measured on points alone. He is a defensive disaster. Why because he will not put in the work. He is really good on the PP because he doesn't have to work for the puck in all areas of the ice. So my point is if he is not scoring he has no value at all, so he needs to be getting 80 points a year. Where you can have other players getting 50 and sixty with far more value because you can play them in all situations. Not just an offensive zone start on the PP. Points in a season is team situational unless your talking franchise/generational talent. Alex is a good player on a bad team, thus you shouldn't expect him to get 80pts but closer to 60. If he comes close to 60 he's showed he's a good player. He was never elite etc, that draft year was just awful all around. Having said that, I still think we won that trade as Domi brings more talent and more intensity. If Alex is a B, Domi is a B+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Alex is a B, Domi is a B+ I have to disagree with that . Matt Duchene same draft spot number 3, probably on one of the worst teams in the league 42 point 37 games, Barkov 44 points in 45 games Florida. Ryan O'Reilly 45 and 45... and these players are much much much better defensively Not every team has great players and I agree they help pad points for some players. But every team has some really good players. I am not even sure Galchenyk is a B player offensively he looks like he could be! BUT over 300 minutes this season points per 60 minutes is 1.41..that means there are 200 plus forwards providing more pts per 60 minutes 5 on 5 this season not because he is on a bad team. Ottawa has 9 forwards with more points per 60 minutes. NJ 6 forwards with more Florida 6 forwards with more Galchenyk CORSI +- is minus 52, there are over 270 forwards with a better corsi plus minus. Its the overall package. I stand by what I said before he needs 80 just to have good value. He is lucky to get 55 points and you add his defensive horror show well..

The disturbing part IMO is that he says he couldn't remember which player gave him the contact. Were there a number of Habs to choose from to find his contact?? Is this just a case of not wanting to throw a friend under the bus? If that's the case then he pretty much lied under oath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And herein lies the problem... the Habs suspended and traded Kassian with a public statement that said he was the passenger in a car where the driver was charged with drunk driving or whatever it was. The Bergevin era has been marred by a lack of transparency, and if the Habs had wanted to be truthful, they could have made it more clear that Kassian was suspended for drug abuse (which I'm perfectly fine with, albeit cocaine to my knowledge is not considered against the rules by the NHL). I get they might want to protect players' privacy, but it looks bad on the club to make moves like this and making it seem like they were done for other reasons altogether.

Honestly, i think its the best course of action for him. Some guys just dont adapt to the NHL. Sucks because he was so promising. Im sure he can get a solid KHL contract and probably perform quite well there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caperns61 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 News Flash Sherback is well - who knows...... Domi versus Galchenyk At around 3/4 of the way through, knockout Domi.. Not only is he smoking him on the offensive side. What makes this even more amazing is Domi only starts in the offensive zone 51% of the time while Galchenyk starts in the offensive zone a wopping 65% of the time. Also as expected Domi is smoking him on the defensive side of the puck. Domi is + 11, Galchenyk is - 17...28 points in the difference WOW. So even if Glachenyk had similiar points goals and assists even if he had more goals and assists we would still have the better players. Player Games Goals Assists Points % Goals % Assists %Points Galchenyk 51 14 20 34 27.45% 39.22% 66.67% Domi 61 20 33 53 32.79% 54.10% 86.89% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiLla Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Anyone read the 2019 NHL Poll in The Athletic? According to his peers, Subban is the league's most overrated player (23%), followed by Patrick Laine (9%) and Aaron Ekblad (6%). The results are somewhat skewed and not really representative in this category since only 63% of all players polled actually answered the question but it's interesting nonetheless. The knock on Subban? “He’s got a good shot and that’s about it,” said a Western Conference rival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subban does not look as good as he used to this year or last really. He'd still be our top D but his possession game has gone downhill and he's essentially a 2nd pairing D on Nashville behind Josi/Ellis.

If anything it was Josi who didnt step up in their run. he started this year normal then got hurt, was out for a long time and im almost positive he is playing hurt still. Subban is top 10 easily, IMO top 5 D in the NHL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
