the D has had a great preseason.
Knies has been sort of fucked with zone starts. 18 dzone starts and just 6 ozone starts. That can't help.Knies 34%?
Genuinely surprised there.

One thing I don't get is how a 4th line forward that will likely play no more than 5 minutes per game (and not all 82 games) can drop the net rating by 12. How is it possible for a guy to have THAT much impact? I know he has Reaves at 9mpg, but even then that seems AGGRESSIVE. If he's replaced with a replacement player, how much higher are they ranked?
When the model assesses a guy like Knies, is it entirely based on his numbers from his 3 regular season NHL games?
Overall can't really complain about those grades.
The one guy i think the model might be underrating compared to his actual potential impact is probably Bertuzzi, who i wouldn't be surprised to see swap ratings with bunting over the course of the season.
