He cleared waivers last year, he's been less than impressive for 2 years now. We already have similar options to Pickard, he literally makes zero sense for the Flames if anyone took even a second to put rational thought into the suggestion.
I am coming back to this because it is actually a pretty reasonable proposal. But since our cap dumps are guys with actual value (Frolik & Stone), will be important depth players for us (both are regular PKers for us, Frolik especially is key) and you can get more for them when you flip them, I would want to make a couple slight changes because we'd need to replace them somewhat.
Based on quality/amount of shots Carey Price faced last year he had #8 highest expected sv%, right after Bishop who played behind defensive sound Dallas team. His actual sv% was lower, so he was in negatives, GSAA also negative, he allowed 25 more goals than average goalie would.Hhigh danger sv% was second worst, only Scott Darling is behind him. "Shitty team" exuse doesn't work with those stats. Say he had a down year because of injuries, personal reasons, this is more accurate.
Can you explain to me how "expected" save percentage works, is it as f***ing terrible as how advance stats judge high quality scoring chances? My assumption is it is not entirely accurate due to the fact you can't judge a quality scoring chance solely on where the shot was taken.
So what you are saying is no one has any idea how it is actually calculated, but still take it as gospel.
Heat maps from hockeyviz confirms that too, Cam Talbot had one of the lowest expected sv% last year. And you don't even have to reach for adv stats. Antti Niemi played behind the same team last year.
I bet you are one of those guys that post those stupid carts fro skaters too. You can't even explain how the stat is calculated but expect others to take it seriously. I'm sorry, but unless I know how a stat is calculated, it's about as valuable as a $3 billHeat maps from hockeyviz confirms that too, Cam Talbot had one of the lowest expected sv% last year. And you don't even have to reach for adv stats. Antti Niemi played behind the same team last year.
So you have nothing to offer to disprove those stats so you go for personal attack. Have a nice day.
How can someone disprove something when they don't know how they are formed? You're the one providing the stats, it's on you to prove they are legit, which you can't do. At least with garbage like Corsi, I know it's +/- for shots. And where was the personal attack? I literally attacked the stats.
Benn is garbage and handles the puck like a grenade, trust me you don’t want him. Byron is a great little player, fast as they come, if Frolik and Stone can truly fetch us a 2nd and a 3rd than we have a deal good sir.
My thoughts on the players adds were Byron can replace Frolik on the PK and be a guy that moves up and down the lineup depending on how healthy we are. Benn, is more insurance, a #7. If we move Stone, we have to run with a Kulak-Andersson third pairing, Benn as the #7 would still give us an NHL caliber defenseman on the 3rd pairing should something go wrong.
Honestly he isn’t good enough for the NHL but you could have him as your 7th sure.
We have a legit starter. You know, the guy that was a f***ing all-star for us last year until he got injured.
