[The BBKL Insider]

Confirmed.

Thanks for the quick offer Jimmy

[brockbirds]

Didn't want to do it, my own fault for not noticing the rise in the cap floor.

[Bruyns]

Should have made Steve give you a pick too, but not a bad trade as MacDonald will likely play a lot in Philly.

[Arian The Insider]

Doesn't jim rape this? Is muzzin a beast or something?

[The BBKL Insider]

cuts 4mil in cap

now i can call people up and send them down without worrying about going over the cap ceiling.

[Nick]

[Fraser]

Good for you Steve. Knew you were trying to swing a deal like this for a while here.

[Arian The Insider]

I get it now

[kimmer]

U dont know muzzin esho? Damn

[Arian The Insider]

I know muzzin I just thought Mac had better numbers than he really does

[Nick]

#1 for like 3 years a row in BS? guy is a monster.

[Bruyns]

Blocks a lot of shots since he is a terrible possession player who routinely concedes the blue line to opposing players and his team allows significantly more shots on goal when he is on the ice as opposed to off.

[Lee]

None of which matter in bbkl

[brockbirds]

I don't think there's any question that as true-talent goes, Muzzin >>> MacDonald.

lots of us read that breakdown -> not really a ton of data to support it. But holding the blueline is as much a factor of forwards adding backpressure as it is on the dman holding the line.

and his team allows significantly more shots on goal when he is on the ice as opposed to off.

He played huge shutdown minutes against top line opponents on a team that lacked defensive structure -> that is basically to be expected. Guy is right there with the best dman on relative-corsi, he was leaned on huge by NYI.

[Bruyns]

Was bad in Philly too. I know he is a good for BBKL stats and will be leaned on again in Philly with Timonen out. Orpik is also a monster for blocks and unlike AMac he hits a ton too, but both players aren't that good in the NHL and overpaid.

Care to provide something to back that statement up that he is one of the best dman on relative-corsi?

"his relative Corsi and relative Fenwick -- two measurements of shots for and against with a player on the ice compared to those same totals without that player on the ice -- ranked dead last among all NHL defensemen who played more than 62 games, according to extraskater"

If you meant his QOC was among the toughest in the league this article does a good job explaining how QOC affects are overstated. http://nhlnumbers.com/2012/7/23/the-imp ... ompetition
