How is it that Sanderson got paid the first year of his rookie contract in 21/22 season even though he didn't play any in the NHL that year? Any insight would be appreciated.
Edit:
Nevermind, apparently he had a hand injury when he signed his rookie contract and was ruled out for the rest of the season that first year.

A lot of people don't understand this. They keep leaning on point production alone from the blue line. But point producing defencemen are not actual defencemen. Seabrook might be one of the last truly great 2 way defencemen and he was worth almost every penny of his contract.
For sure the contract he was on during Chicago's glory years, but definitely not on his final contract which was for 8 years/55 mil. Seabrook last played in the 19/20 season and the contract ends this season.

It would be interesting to see what the "oddsmakers" predicted for NHL teams over the previous 5 to 10 seasons to see how accurate they were. I'm sure they're right more often than not, but I'd guess they've had their misses as well.
Having Demko healthy will do wonders for the goals against. Last season, even before Demko went down to injury, he just didn't look right out there. With the additions the Canucks have made, the PK should be much improved as well. This year's team just seems to be better constructed than the teams we've iced over the previous few seasons.

Jones was a solid PP QB on a trash team - even outperformed his big bro in that one area. If he plays to the level he was at in Chicago, Carolina might want to trade a D-man in for more offense.
This past season Caleb had 4 PP points to Seth's 12 PP points. What metrics show that Caleb performed better than Seth on the PP?
-
I'm curious as to why you think Beau is too injury prone. In the last 5 NHL seasons he has only missed a total of 17 games and 2 of those games missed were due to COVID.

His playoff stats 0-4 .898 3.13 GAA
Samsonov actually went 4-4 in 9 playoff games this past season.

As small as Debrincat is he has proven to be very durable, having missed only 4 games during his six years in the NHL. All 4 of those games missed were due to having COVID during 2019-20 season. He's scrappier than you would expect for a guy his size and also has a good work ethic.

His analytics aren’t bad for someone who’s played on the 4th line. If he was in a top 6 role and used to kill penalties his analytics numbers would be much better…
Does anyone know how they (JFresh Hockey) calculate these percentages? I see Zadina has an EV offence of 82% and his offence in the line graph has increased each subsequent season after 20-21. If you look at Zadina's stats for the last 3 seasons it would lead me to believe the opposite is happening. He went from scoring a pt about every 2.6 games in 20/21 down to a pt about every 3.1 games in 21/22 and then further down to about a pt every 4.3 games this season. I'm curious how they calculate that his EV offence is actually increasing during this time.

Garland lacks the vision, and the finish to be a constant productive option on the PP. We have too many players who are capable of playing above him. There is a reason he isn't staple to a PP unit.
I disagree on the vision. Think it's more his lack of a hard shot. There are too many better options for Garland to be on the 1st unit PP, but he's a staple on the 2nd unit PP.

Yeah, I had thought he was LW/C, but when I looked closer than his faceof percentage, it was only for a handful of draws. (57% though)
He still plays a bigger role, he's a top PKer, and just as effective on the PP.
Loads of tangibles that still make him more valuable than guys like Garland who are strictly 5on5 capable.
Smith is a good PKer, so that does give him some added value over Garland there. This season Garland actually produced pretty decently on the PP considering he only got about 1:30 per game on it, nearly all of it being with the 2nd unit. I did a post not too far back where Garland was right there with Pettersson and Miller this season in points per 60 minutes while on the PP.

Why?
Smith is a better player, playing a more premium position, coming off a Stanley Cup win.
Smith is a RW isn't he?

Petry is getting up there in age at 35 years old but still seems pretty effective. He averaged 22:21 per game this season in Pit and put up 31 pts in 61 games while posting 190 hits and 111 blocks.

At $8.8M, I'd expect him to be able to do 1 of the following:
1. Score 40 goals
2. Score 85+ points
He's close on both, but we'll see if he can soon enough.
Meier did score 40 goals this season.

PLD has the talent but I'm not sure he has the drive and consistency to be an elite player. The amount of times he's seemed invisible out there is worrisome. He's not particularly good at faceoffs and he doesn't PK. He came into the NHL as a 19 year old and scored 48 points and 5 years later he's only upped his best season production to 63 points. How long until he requests out of LA?

Has Soucy ever played any significant stretch of top 4 minutes? Not saying he can't, but I wouldn't be expecting it at 28 if he hasn't before.
The highest average TOI that Soucy has had in the NHL over a single month was in December 2019 when he averaged 19:14 in 15 games. Soucy put up 8 pts and was +12 in those 15 games.
-
He's put up respectable #'s being a 3rd pairing defenseman his whole career. Would he be able to handle added minutes if he was to be on the 2nd pair? Even last year, he was the #6 d-man for Seattle based on avg ice time as he averaged just 16:18 per game.

Show me where I am wrong my dude.
Dahlin leads in everything but points and did so on Sabres teams that were somehow even worse than vancouver in the same amount of time as hughes. more blocks, hits, takeaways and has been healthier. Plays more on the pk and in all around situations and is the better 5v5 player. Defensively dahlin is absolutely more versatile and better right now than Hughes by the numbers.
Hughes had 56 takeaways this season. Dahlin had 45 takeaways. Also of note is that Hughes had 45 giveaways while Dahlin had 61 giveaways.
Hughes has played more games over the past 4 seasons than Dahlin at 278 to 273.
Hughes averaged 1:19 per game on the PK this season. Dahlin averaged 1:17 per game on the PK. Hughes had a goals against of 7.6 per 60 PK minutes. Dahlin had a goals against of 8.3 per 60 PK minutes.
Hughes had a +/- of +15 and an expected +/- of +10. Dahlin had a +/- of +12 and an expected +/- of +7.
Hughes had a defensive point share of 4.8. Dahlin had a defensive point share of 4.2.

Miller doesn't really hit that much and doesn't really drag many into the fight as we've seen. He does put up points and plays C and CBJ has to prove something. Carlsson who is likely NHL ready or close, 8M in cap space (Maybe to add O'Reilly or some other vets to fill out the roster) meets the bill very well for us, and for both teams TBH. If we can get Peeke from them in some way, then that would be even better.
Won't be long until Miller starts to tail off and won't time with our timeline.
Miller was top 30 in the NHL this season with 200 hits.

This almost exactly echoes my sentiments on Garland. It's rather bizarre that he doesn't perform on special teams (he doesn't PK at all and isn't effective on the PP). Adding either PK skills or improving his PP results would significantly improve his value I think. Some strong PP results would push him closer to the 60-point mark he's shown he can approach in the past, at which point, he's in the realm of a solid 2nd line winger.
Garland's 12 PP pts this season is actually pretty decent considering he only averaged 1:32 of PP time per game, most of that time being on the 2nd unit PP.
Garland - 1:32 PP time/gm * 81 games = 124 minutes 12 seconds, divide that by 12 PP pts = 1 PP point every 10 minutes 21 seconds
Miller - 3:59 PP time/gm * 81 games = 322 minutes 39 seconds, divide that by 30 PP pts = 1 PP point every 10 minutes 45 seconds
Pettersson - 3:50 PP time/gm * 80 games = 306 minutes 40 seconds, divide that by 25 PP pts = 1 PP point every 12 minutes 16 seconds

They both seemed to perform quite well in their only playoff run.
Quinn had 16 pts in 17 games and Petey had 18 pts in 17 games.

Hronek literally can't be extended til this summer. So I doubt they ironed out an actual idea of an extension. Yzerman also said he wasn't shopping Hronek, sure he could be lying. Not sure what benefit he gets from it. What exactly are you basing the "he is looking for Bo money" claim on? Myers on the open market got 6x6m. That was on the heels of a 31 point and 36 point season. If we can't extend an often injured sub 40 point, RFA around/below 7mil I dunno. In 5 seasons he's only play more than 70 games once and has never hit 40 points. He could have this year, could have should have walla, walla, bing, bang.
Hronek missed 18 games this season but has been pretty durable before this year. Over the past 4 NHL seasons, 2 of which were shortened due to Covid, he's played in 263 of a possible 291 games.

Here's a list of the top 10 shooting percentages combined since 2017-18. Kuzmenko's rate is not sustainable long-term.
I mostly agree with you, as a 27.2 shooting % is ridiculous. With the way Kuzmenko scores a vast majority of his goals from in close though, I really think year in and year out he's going to hover around 20%. I just watched a video of his first 20 goals this season and all of them combined were probably from a total distance of 100 feet away from the goalline, maybe even less. It looked like the furthest he scored from was about 18 to 20 feet out. This guy's not a sniper, he's a close quarters assassin.

According to statmuse (take it as you will), highest career shooting percentage was Craig Simpson at 23.7% (600+ games) and for a season it was Charlie Simmer at 32.7% in 1980/81 (in 65 games). AK96 currently ranks 13th on that list (34 goals in 125 shots), tied to one decimal place with 1988/89 Mario Lemieux (85 goals in 313 shots), but is actually marginally higher due to ML66's figure being rounded up.

Thanks for this.
It's interesting that nearly all of the top regular season shooting percentages were from the 80's and early 90's. Seems the butterfly style goaltenders have made it harder to have a high shooting percentage. Makes what Kuzmenko is doing this season even more impressive.

A couple of months back they were saying that Kuzmenko's shooting percentage of 25% was unsustainable. He's actually increased it up to 27.2%. What's the record?
[DEBATE] Which player are you taking, Elias Pettersson or Jack Hughes?

Right now, if my team was going into the playoffs and I had to choose between the two, I'd definitely go with Petey as he has the better overall game.
