Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Don't forget that this is the first year Willy has got the legit top line minutes, and is on track to finish top 5 in the scoring race.

 

[mbow30]

Nah. Solid xGA in decently difficult usage pretty much every year.

He shouldn't have gotten Selke votes last season, but he's fine.

49xg%
53xg%
50xf%

Past three years. Driven by a doodoo xga

 

[mbow30]

One of EPs selling points has always been that he's good defensively. Now I don't know if he's actually as good as they say but I probably wouldn't call him shit.

Data does not back that up n

 

[zeke]

Also the first year of Elias deal is an RFA season.

 

[oscarheyman]

The real victory by Vancouver here isn't the cap hit, it's the fact they put big pressure on their superstar and he caved and signed.
The played this very well.

Alvin & JR:

 

[MindzEye]

49xg%
53xg%
50xf%

Past three years. Driven by a doodoo xga

This season, a lower xGA than Miller or Lindholm. Least season the 2nd best xGA among forwards. Season prior middle of the road xGA (6th) compared to the other forwards on Vancouver.

He's fine defensively.

5v5 P/60

EP: 2.83
Willy: 2.37

Wanna pull up his xgf% rel vs other van Cs over the past couple years?

Kuznetzov on waivers

 

[MindzEye]

Wanna pull up his xgf% rel vs other van Cs over the past couple years?

+.23 xga60 this season -.06 xg60 over the last 3 seasons combined.

So more or less average, in offensively skewed usage but not crazy sheltered.

Kuznetzov on waivers

Thought he was in the assistance program. Can you be waived while you're in that?

 

[LeafGm]

Thought he was in the assistance program. Can you be waived while you're in that?

Nope, you can’t. But he was cleared from the assistance program today and the Caps waived him immediately afterwards.

 

[fergy57]

Oof. Stay classy, Washington.

 

[zeke]

eh Kuz is probably a piece of shit that was partying all through rehab.

 

[fergy57]

Sounds like it was somewhat mutual. He wants a fresh start so waivers kick starts the process.

No idea if this guy can usurp Tavares as 3C on the leafs though.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

That’s the last kind of guy we need to add.

Imagine the shit kicking Rielly would give him the first time he did his chicken dance.

 

[MindzEye]

Feels like a guy we pass on, Boston picks up, and then he scores 4 goals in our 1st round series against them.

apparently tb and bos also in the mix.

not sure it's' the right target for florida tho tbh.

 

[leafman101]

Florida and Tampa have no 1st round pick the next 2 years and no prospects. Love how they are going to get Hanifin and the Leafs have nothing to trade.

I can't see the flames trading him at all.
