Even strength points per 60 minutes of even strength TOI:
1. Dea - 3.73
2. Sid - 3.07
3. Jake - 2.77
4. Geno - 2.66
5. Phil - 2.27
6. Cans - 2.22
7. Rust - 2.03
8. ZAR - 2.03
9. Teddy - 1.91
10. Simon - 1.75
11. Horny - 1.70
12. Grant - 1.53
13. Sprong - 1.51
14. Brass - 1.44
15. DAD - 1.39
16. WILSON! - 1.34
17. Pearson - 1.32
18. Jugs - 1.24
19. Hags - 0.87
20. Sheahan - 0.82
And here I was thinking mikey found some cherry picked stat to help the Simon argument. He's 6th among forwards in EV TOI and 11th in EV TOI/GP. The Pens 2nd most frequently used line this season is Jake-Sid-Simon and almost 400 of Simon's 822 minutes of EV TOI have come on the wing of Sid or Geno, yet he's 10th in EV PTS/60 EV TOI. Pretty sure this indicates he's a drag of a third wheel on the top two lines.
1. Dea - 3.73
2. Sid - 3.07
3. Jake - 2.77

He's 5th in ES scoring and 9th in ES time by default...? How does that work?That's kind of by default, considering injuries to ZAR, Horny and Cullen and McCann only being here a month. Give Cullen the time Simon got on Sid's line and he'd have 24 points too.5th among Pens forwards in ES points...but 9th among forwards in ES ice time.
1. Crosby 65
2. Guentzel 59
3. Malkin 45
4. Kessel 43
5. Rust 31
6. Simon 24
7. Hornqvist 23
8. Aston-Reese 16
9. Cullen 14
10. McCann 13
Bennett, no such production. Only 37 ES points in 129 games as a Penguin. Simon already has more.
Clearly it doesn't, because there's no way that Cullen could produce like that. Plays die with Cullen far more often, as savvy as he is.
Even in minimal time last year (33 games), his ES pts/min was up in the same area (4th on the team, not including Brassard, who didn't play most of the season with us). 12th in ES TOI among forwards. 10th in ES points.
Hornqvist and Simon have played the same amount of games.
My point isn't that Simon is amazing, he's not. But the idea that he's not producing with his time and that our 42 year old 4th line center could produce at this rate doesn't jive with reality...statistically or by what happens on the rink...

Using incomplete data to draw a conclusion..."pretty sure" indeed. Using less than half of the available data. If the comparison is "how does a player do with linemates" than that needs to be consistent across the board...Simon's time with [player] vs. the alternatives time with [player].Even strength points per 60 minutes of even strength TOI:
1. Dea - 3.73
2. Sid - 3.07
3. Jake - 2.77

Otherwise, you get backed into situations where you have to explain how Brassard was better here than Bjugstad so far...or Grant/Sprong over the players that they're over...this is what "cherry picked" is, by the way...

Was really weird watching a Pens game that they had in hand for the majority of the game.The Pens must've won, the bickering is relatively tame today.

The Caps have been good...but the Isles are like .500 over the last month or two probably...they're not good. Though they are structured. Over-achieved big time early on, falling back to earth...

The isles will have a big edge at home. They’re going to bully us, and they’ll get away with it since the officials are going to go along with the 16,000 garbage cans in the stands.
But they’re a typical Trotz team. They get by in the regular season by being structured. Then they have no second gear in the playoffs.

"pretty sure" is a facetious comment and data is incomplete because 1.) I don't have the time right now to look at much else and 2.) god knows where you can find free WOWY stats anymore. What can be learned from my half assed collection of available data, which is still a more thorough look at the situation than "look! he's 5th in EV scoring and only 9th in EV TOI, he's not that bad!", especially considering that neither data point is correct, is that nearly 50% of his EV TOI has been spent with the two best players on the team yet his production isn't commiserate with someone who is even leeching points off those two and he doesn't produce much when not on a line without one of those two.Using incomplete data to draw a conclusion..."pretty sure" indeed. Using less than half of the available data. If the comparison is "how does a player do with linemates" than that needs to be consistent across the board...Simon's time with [player] vs. the alternatives time with [player].Even strength points per 60 minutes of even strength TOI:
1. Dea - 3.73

Again, this isn't to dismiss Simon as a useless or bad, I just don't think he's as skilled or impactful as you do.

The criteria changed from production to production with certain players without warning...as we continue to meander down the road attempting to find more fault than there is...
I don't find Simon to be particularly impactful, citing that he's a third wheel that just keeps plays from dying more than alternatives...
More poignantly probably, who is the clearly superior alternative in the organization?
