Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion II: now accepting backup goaltenders

[aylib]

I get to see a fair amount of Rantanen out here. Guy is a big, solid, stud. That line would be puck murder. Wonder what he would cost..?

In Mitch Marner ballpark, I’d say

Saw this on Reddit:

Gdafo​

This is also referred to as srs by some sites albeit they don't do it for offense and defense. It takes a teams standard ga and gf and adjusts them for opponent difficulty(scoring 3 goals vs nj or dallas is a lot more impressive than 3 vs the penguins). You have gaafo(goals against adjusted for opponent) and gfafo(goals for adjusted for opponent).

Deviation​

I've used this stat before. It basically compares basic stats for offensive or defensive production like shooting %, shots against, pk%, etc and relates them to league average for offense and defense.

xgf/ga adjusted​

This is a slightly flawed stat, it uses moneypucks xgf/ga model and adjusts that for a teams pdo, aka shooting and save %. Obviously the issue is if a team takes more higher or low danger shots, that have a less or mote likely chance to go in, it should hurt or boost their xgf/ga.

Is the McD/NYY trade the last time we traded for one of the top names available?

I feel like we never get involved with the big TDL names. I could be wrong...

Didn't we just get involved with Hanifin last year?

If Coleman, Savard, and Hagel do not count then yeah, that is the last big one we made.

Yeah, that's true with Hanifin. I meant more big name players.

We rarely have the money. But we do tend to look for deals, like Hagel. He certainly paid off.

That ended up being a hell of a trade. I didn't expect him to be this good. I expected maybe 25/25 guy that could PK but he's getting better and better. He's like 2018 Point imo.

I think the Paul acquisition was good too.

I watch this way too often.



I'll never why we signed f***ing Pejorative Slurs instead of Johnson for bottom 6.
