News Around the League: 2017-2018 During and AFTER THE CUP

[MadDevil]

They're also pretty damn lucky. How many times can you hire a Hall of Fame GM and a coach coming off winning the Cup in the same offseason?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Never been high on Niederreiter. Don't view him as a top line guy at all

so we're only allowed to acquire "top line guys"?

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Man I would love Niederreiter here. Would fill our RW depth.

we got palms for that role, but we DO need a 2RW in case bratt sucks hard at it

Niederreiter is probably a 40-50 point scorer, but he's excellent defensively. It could be a good compliment to Hall/Nico. I'd take him any day (for a reasonable price).

He plays a heavy game too and battles.

Ideally a high end 2nd liner

also, check out his stats from the LAST 3 SEASONS in terms of sheer CF #s

it's seriously not even close

do i need to translate? it's such a basic stat thoughhhh

the fact that the margin of CF vs CA is so huge is pretty telling.

even better, he's got the largest d-zone start % out of any forward, at a whopping 39%. AND, he's got the 2nd most GF% behind graovac in the past 3 years. that one's an easy stat right?

yes you do

guess i'm old

 

[Nubmer6]

He's a dominant possession guy, which we can probably use. In fact, he may fit well cycling on a 2nd line with MarJo and Zacha. Or he'd do well with Nico/Hall digging pucks off the board. I just think his strengths are something this team could use.

CF vs CA is corsi for and corsi against

Corsi is "shots on goal, missed shots on goal, and blocked shot attempts towards the opposition’s net minus the same shot attempts directed at your own team’s net"

so basically it's a measure of a teams shot attempts, regardless of whether they make it to the net or not.

the fact that his numbers are so high means that he has a very positive impact on the team, and the reason why in included his zone starts is because it ALSO means that his numbers aren't just inflated by heavy o-zone starts

 

[Nubmer6]

so basically it's a measure of a teams shot attempts, regardless of whether they make it to the net or not.

An even simpler description is that it basically correlates to your o-zone time. The higher your corsi, the more time you're PROBABLY spending on the attack vs time defending.

****unless you suck defensively (gelinas), or are really good at offense/defense (like this case)
