Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

The sooner Hamonic is off this team the better.

Whatever, keep beating the drum for Hamonic if that's what gets you going. The guy is a plug and brings nothing to the table *except for that one time he shot a puck 96.7mph*

I’m not shilling for Hamonic, just pointing out how bad your bad your example was when shooting isn’t one of his worst traits, when you had so many others to choose from.
You obviously didn’t read the link, as you would of saw his shot average is in the 71st percentile.

Tampa always trade for good players for cheap. Hagel is a Top6 foward who actually score now . With them ahead of WC spot with 4 pts a game in hand . I can see them locking that 3rd spot till the end of season. Too much talent and experience from top to bottom in that roster.

Let's hope and pray we can keep the WC spot by having a strong return. We play a lot of games vs our division for the remaining games it could get ugly quickly even with supposedly easy match ups.

Yes I read the link. I quoted it - he has a 0% shooting average.

Are we really going to quibble about why or how he's bad?

Pointless conversation.

Have a nice day.

To be fair, when they traded two 1sts and two young forwards (Raddysh and Katchouk) for Hagel most people on HF thought they were crazy.

I defended the deal, due to Hagel being only 23 at the time, having put up 37 points in 55 games and, importantly for Tampa's cap situation, he was signed for an extra year at only 1.5M.

Can't say I expected him to grow into a PPG forward though. Really good pro-scouting by Tampa on that one.

People are justifiably upset we dropped two games against them, but Tampa is a legitimate contender again after adding Guentzel. Top 5 team in the league by goal differential and advanced stats that has been unlucky this season. They could very well win it all again.

Guess we will, when you were shown shot speed isn’t one of them.

Julien Brisebois and Mathieu Darche represent excellence

He did not get off to the greatest start in Tampa the year he was traded. he's been vey good since

Tampa with 3 in the top 20, Oilers 2, Leafs 2, Wings 2, Fla 2

Brady is 21
Next Senator Norris 104
Batherson 147
Stutzle 150
Pinto 156
Giroux 200

In case anyone is wondering how they derive shooting talent.

It's based on a player's historical record of exceeding their expected goals. A player's ability to score more goals an average player given the same scoring opportunities. A player with a shooting talent above average of 20% would have a 12% chance of scoring a goal on a shot with expected goal value of 0.1

Never looked at this stat before and no idea how to weigh it but it does seem being higher on the list is better
Hard (for me) to explain Brady being higher on the list than Scheifele, Eichel, Panarin, MacKinnon , Kaprizov, Connor ?? I don't fully understand it and I am not currently motivated to try to break it down.

The speed of one shot, on net.

He misses the net more than 25% of his attempts, and that was what I referenced - an 81(?)mph shot attempt that was 2 feet wide of the net.

But hey! We agree? More TH is not what is needed.
