The New Division

[zeke]

Sure, but his play will naturally bump down others who took advantage of the time on the top PP and top-6.

yep, macarthur and frattin will be hurt by Lupul's return for sure.

and too bad for the sens - Spezza and Karlsson returning is going to bump all the rest of their players WAY down. too bad for them.

 

[leafman101]

Who cares what Kadri's shooting percentage will be. The real question is do you think he won't score 20+ goals.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

So do you think Kadri will shoot at 17% next year?

He will be around that range give or take a few %'s.

 

[hockeylover]

The only guy you can make a decent argument for is Kadri, and it's only because he hasn't done it before this year. The others have all had seasons pretty damn close to last year previously so either they're just "really lucky" for more than one season...

JVR too.

And Karlsson just slots right in for the departed Gonchar.

Sens World: good offensive players returning - will boost teammates' scoring
Leafs World: good offensive players returning - will hurt teammates' scoring

 

[corksens]

So apparently the Sens can expect a massive decline in SV%, but the Leafs will maintain their shooting %.

 

[zeke]

he's been at exactly 14% career in both the NHL and the AHL, true.

 

[zeke]

expect a 1% decline in shooting percentage.

but, as a result, expect more shots.

 

[hockeylover]

JVR too.

And Karlsson just slots right in for the departed Gonchar.

I just asked you about JVR twice. How much of a drop off from 55 points can we expect from our 1st line winger then?

The Leafs posted an elite shooting % two years in a row.

Sens posted an elite SV% over a 48 game season.

 

[corksens]

The Sens goaltending under Maclean has been elite for two years.

 

[zeke]

Sens received .910sv% goaltending in 11-12, good for a 3 way tie for 16th in the league.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

The Sens goaltending under Maclean has been elite for two years.

That isn't true. 1 year historically great, 1 year average.

12/13: .933 (1st)
11/12: .910 (16th)

 

[corksens]

Anderson has posted a near .925%+ for the Sens.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

Anderson has posted a near .925%+ for the Sens.

Anderson is going to play all 82 games?

Anderson's never posted anywhere near that as a starter over a full 82 game season.

 

[leafman101]

Haha. "Near .925+"

 

[corksens]

Haha. "Near .925+"

122 gms. .9244%

Not a big enough sample size?

 

[leafman101]

No, its just "near .925+" is a ridiculous thing to say.

He's been a .925- for the Sens.

Of course that will be going down seeing as how he can't possibly keep up last years pace.

 

[corksens]

It was an awkward wording, fair enough.
