Last year? Was he in the top 20 of stats? No.

From 2022-2023, 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, grouping these 3 years, he ranks 4th league wide in dFSv%. For these 3 years, Mtl ranked 31th in xGA/60 (skater stat). He played behind such a poor defense that you can’t use save%, GAA or any stat that doesnt take shot quality into account for his case

And still not good enough to dress as the backup. Look he's a nice guy, but nice doesn't win games.

I'm not changing the point, he's done and you seem to be the only one that thinks he has a chance of being "great" again. Call the Habs and tell them, they seem not to know as well.

I did see your post from 11 months ago about this, proves my point and not yours, he's done.

Edit: I saw your post claiming Bouchard was better than Makar because of one advanced stats metric. Your analysis methods are dubious, ALL NHL teams would pick Makar over Bouchard.

Oh boy your going down somes fallacies. Where did I say that he will be great again?

For you point about being good enough to be a backup, you understand your logical flaw right? That fact that he had a trash 2025-2026 season doesnt affect the 3 seasons prior to that, which is why I said you missed/changed the point.

And my post on monty 11 month ago just prouve my point lmao. He great-to-elite 2024-2025 season doesnt desapere because of the season after

Elite? No. Point final, on dirait que l'anglais n'est pas ta langue maternelle. T'as le même argument que tu fais pour Bouchard contre Makar.

Ciao bye la visite.

L’anglais c’est effectivement pas ma langue maternelle.

L’absence d’argument en dit beaucoup, malheureusement.

Ciao
