raftis does draft well. that's not really even being debated is it?
fisch is cherrypicking statistics and that's fine. i'm going to play the long game and be back with screenshots in march.
"Named after Buffalo Sabres goalie coach Jim Corsi who originally conceived of the stats, Corsi is the total shots at the net for and against at even strength. It’s often expressed as either a differential, like plus/minus, or a percentage.
Corsi is a proxy measure for offensive zone possession. Players and teams with positive Corsi rates tend to spend more time in the offensive zone at five-on-five, something that’s predictive of success over the long-term.
In general, the higher the corsi differential or ratio, the more dominant the team or player.
All things being equal, Corsi ratios tend to range between 40-60 per cent for most players and teams. An elite number is usually around 55 per cent or better while anything below 45 per cent tends to below average."
I don't have shots for just even strength, but our number is 56% so far [318÷(318+247)].
That's the most basic of advanced stats. I'm not cherry picking anything. Our team embraced this under Kyle Dubas and our fans should too.
