Status quo
Agree.Let’s just end this b.s jay beagle faceoff prowess value once and for all.
Jay beagle has played 471 career games and taken 4507 face offs in that time. He has a career winning percentage of 56.4% which means that he has won 2544 faceoff and lost 1963 faceoffs.
Any center that wins their faceoffs at a 50% rate would have won 2253 faceoffs in that same period.
That means that in his 471 games JayBeagle has won 5.39 faceoffs a game and the center at a career faceoff percentage of 50% would win 4.78 per game.
The difference between jay beagle and the 50% faceoff guy works out to jay beagle winning 0.61 faceoffs more per game or roughly 1 more every 2 games.
His defensive play is bad and his pk numbers as seen by advanced stats are brutal.
He brings nothing to the table that any other vet that could be signed for a 1/2yr deal at 1 mill doesn’t
Why the heck is that worth a 4year 3 mil per contract?
What should we do now?
I did enjoy what he brought in his initial sample of games here.
Didn't realize how feisty he was. He likes his scrums. Good scrum game. Probably leads the team in scrums/60.
