Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
All that bullshit advanced stats comes down to stuff like possession and shots for/against. They don't determine who wins the game but players that benefit their teams. Like...if you're in the opponent's zone over 50% of the time, you have a greater chance of winning the game.
Booth is the opposite of MayRay. MayRay could actually score but more often than not, the play ends on his stick because he's fallen over and lost it. Booth seldom loses the puck but can't fucking score. In the long run, Booth is a more beneficial player to the Canucks than MayRay.
I'm looking forward in seeing what Bonino can do this season.
Bonino is young and put up just as many points as Kesler last year. He doesn't have the same upside...I doubt he'll be as good as Kesler was in '11 at any point...but still.

Don't think Kesler will be as good as the Kesler of 2011. His injuries have been catching up to him physically.
Odds are Bonino won't be anywhere near his Anaheim production because he won't be along side Getzlaf and Perry.
Also those advanced stats are seemingly a lot more about "value" than winning games. Stuff like what do you with the limit ice time you get, your turn over rate VS puck possession, scoring percentage vs shots taken

He won't be required to do as much as he did in Vancouver. The Ducks still have Getzlaf who can play all around like Kesler and Nate Thompson who can PK. Kesler's ice time will be more balanced and he won't get ride like he did by Torts.
keep in mind that Justin Williams has been a corsi/fenwick (one of those two stats) god for a while. and he ended up being the playoff MVP
he may be an outlier since he is so incredibly clutch, but i believe the stats do have some weight in his abilities as well.

Booths possession stats were strong, but his shooting percentage was in the pits. Something like 4 to 5% as I recall, way lower than an avg NHL player. The analytics guys just kept on waiting and waiting for that shooting % to regress towards the mean, and still waiting... it's one thing to have strong possession stats but when you're being paid 4M+, you do need to put it in the net every once in a while. If you watched Booth (and the rest of the canucks) genuine luck was not on their side last year. I'm almost entirely sure the canucks will bounce back this year because things like luck tend to balance out over the course of time--Booth I'm not so sure we've seen a decent enough sample size and perhaps he's just one of those guys who pulls the avg shooting % down
