I’ve said this before and I will say it again. You can, and people do, make strong arguments against what hockey analytics suggest. The issue is that many of the arguments typically made are not very good or rational arguments.

Another sad thing is seeing AHL veterans with good stat lines. And you wonder if they are the "too good for AHL not good enough for NHL"... ...but then you see their NHL underlying numbers are better than a lot of players who made NHL careers in bottom-six or 3rd pair roles.
Nothing like seeing the stat line of a player you did a draft profile for years ago and then see D+15 season in hockey... Feeling a bit old there.

To illustrate visually:
The Jets are on their way to building some utterly hilarious 5v5 defensive metrics with and without Dylan Samberg in the lineup this season. 16 games without Samberg: - Shot attempts against/60: 65.03 - (32nd) - xGA/60: 3.12 - (31st) - SCA/60: 32.27 - (31st) - HDCA/60: 13.45 -

Just caught up tracking the game today against Minesota. I think my thoughts can be summarized by the #NHLJets xGoal share for their defenders: Samberg 76% DeMelo 75% Morrissey 70% Miller 56% ----------- Stanley 30%

Continuing in hockey would have been a sacrifice in home/life:work balance and job security that I decided I did not want to continue with 1 (now 2) kid(s). So I pivoted to something that has similar balance and a different but equal risk. Don’t ask my wife about it hahaha.

It worked there, whatever, but that streaking play by Ehlers is why he struggled on the PP aside from last season.

DeMelo denying an Ehlers goal is some kind of scriptwriter moment haha #NHLJets

Perfetti, score on this PP on Ehlers spot, then stare at the bench at him. Assert dominance.
