This year, right?
Eichel and Reinhart played 523 together 5 on 5

- sbroads24



strange, dunno why hockeyviz had that number.

puckalytics has eichel and reinhart at 523 and draisaitl mcjesus at 670, makes more sense

Remember when Alex Ovechkin was minus 35 in a year he scored 51 goals?

Eichel has his best possession #'s with Sam I believe

Gotcha

I get that he's good offensively
Of course I'm not arguing that

But he is on the ice for so many more goals against than his teammates

Isn't that concerning?

- jdfitz77



i mean just looking at the washington comparable he was on the ice for 2 more goals against than john carlson.

i wouldnt give him tough d matchups or pk time but considering how much offence he generates i think its passable.

thats the other thing. havent looked into draisaitl but for the most part sam seems to move everyones possession #s up,

foligno and kane seem to be the outliers here.

Reinhart is way more sheltered than Draisaitl though I believe

Their zone starts/deployment were identical this year, at least according to this site. I still think he's the better player as well i just question the 9 mil bit.

Can u show me a link where u got that?
He only played like 20 games with the Caps
And I'm guessing Carlson had MUCH more def zone starts than Shatty

I'd love to compare his seasons with Bouwmeester, Alex P, etc
I'm sure he'll come out much worse

Enough with our Buffalo defeatedness attitude. Shatt would be a great signing, we're challenging for the playoffs with or without him and we will be adding 2-3 new, better defensemen this year. Jbotts won't play the game of being used to drive up a players price, btw, Do I think Shatt signs with us? No, but stranger things have happened.

Cal signing with LA doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but F*ck u Cal anyway!!

LA has been pretty good at developing goalies over the last 8 years or so
Not sure if the staff responsible, especially at AHL level, has been changed?
I agree though... F him!
I'm glad he's gonna be on a mediocre team
He deserves it

And "moving the puck" is great and all...
but we need guys that can play well in their own end as well

Murray opted to try developing Dupuy over keeping Schaller.

I was expecting Schaller to be our 4th line center,
he seemed like he was ready

Then Murray just let him go for some reason

He's been decent since for Boston
