Looks like Boyd Gordon is going to wear 27

Did Del Zotto make it to arbitration after his first year with the Flyers? Personally I don't care if Schenn goes to arbitration. Worst case we get him at one more year at a decent price. I don't see him getting rewarded something crazy.

They signed him iirc the day before or something like that. Either way he didn't make it to arb

Ivan Provorov is not given a number so much as he assumes control of a number that is incomprehensible to the human mind.

Yes, because only Ivan Provorov truly understands what it means.

It's interesting to compare the gap between last year's 4C and this year's new 4C in terms of faceoffs, and how they might affect possession. You can also quickly see how differently Bellmare and the Hak line were used in terms of zone starts compared to how Gordon was used in Arizona.

Net Shots Post-Faceoff (NSPF) estimates a face-off taker's contribution to puck possession by counting shot flow (shots-for minus shots-against) during the 10 seconds following a player's face-offs in 5-versus-5 situations, and comparing it to a league-average face-off taker. NSPF is calculated for each of the offensive, defensive, and netural zones; the overall NSPF is their sum.

In short, NSPF is how many more shots-for a player's team had, plus shots-against prevented, following face-offs he took compared with what a league-average face-off taker would have done with the same number of 5-versus-5 face-offs in each zone (offensive, defensive, and neutral).

NSPF/FO is the NSPF per face-off, allowing for easier comparison among players with different numbers of face-offs taken.

So that is telling us Gordon positive number is a lot better than Bellamare's negative number?(serious question because all this stats stuff is still somewhat greek to me)

It honestly seems kinda stupid. Obviously the better face-off guy is going to have better numbers in the 10 seconds following a face-off.

Well, then it is good that they have upgraded that position of need for this team (if I am reading the stats right)

Anything that allows Giroux to take less d-zone draws (on PK and even strength) and get more o-zone draws is good by me.
