Schmid has 39 career NHL games and was a .905 guy in the AHL last year. It’s not the most outlandish thing for him to just be not that good. Goalies don’t make any sense. Look at what Charlie Lindgren is doing out of nowhere.
"When Salvador says he’d help “however possible,” he really means it. He believes his broadcasting role can evolve into something special. He has no interest in the new play-by-play gig for MSG, nor does he want to be New Jersey’s assistant coach –– despite their assistants vacancies. Salvador wants to serve in a unique role: a front office/broadcaster hybrid.

“I don’t have a passion for coaching,” Salvador said. “I like the business side of the game –– the hockey operations, the player development. I’ve always gravitated towards that. There might be a combination of that tied in with the broadcasting.
“I don’t have a definitive end game here. I really enjoy the broadcasting and slowly adding more involvement with the Devils and looking to do more things with them.”"

More like.. advanced schmetrics, am I right?!
I promise you the analytics people aren’t telling Lindy what system to run. This is the coaching staffs system.
I have the same wonder, although my wonder does go back to under Shero.
Yeah even with the great run last year I have always been against Ruff's system. Last year was just a perfect storm that Ruff will never repeat. A healthy lineup for 95% of the season, career years from all the top players, goalie playing good & a d corps that were all veterans with no rookies. Right now this team looks so lost. Our goalies are shot, we can't recover a puck to save our life, we leave the goalie to hang dry, & worst of all really bad mistakes where the whole system Ruff is running completely collapses. This system might be good at generating offense but it's not worth it. At the end of the day players like Hughes, Bratt, Nico will score in any system. The only player playing way above expectations is Mr. MVP McLeod (who I called during the offseason was due to a massive breakout season with most of the board laughing at me). Ruff was never supposed to be the dude to bring us to the holy land. On the original hiring Fitz himself said he is the coach to groom the rookies & get us to the players. Ruff has done flawless in that regard. He did exactly what he was brought in to do so Ruff gets all my praise for that. He created the superstars on this team & groomed the rookies perfect. It's now his time to step down now that his role has been achieved. We need a real playoff coach. One that is meant for getting us to the cup. There's 0 chance Ruff is that guy.
You have no idea and neither do I.
The advanced metrics available to we lay people.
Maybe but we know that Shero got canned months into a long-term extension because he didn't want a 'collaborative' effort, which is basically code for the GM having a lot of voices at the table as opposed to being more autocratic.
It’s the opposite. Devils are like bottom 3 in the NHl at allowing odd man rushes.
I guarantee the analytics department doesn’t have enough sway to be telling the coaches what system to run. That’s nuts to even think. They’re basically another version of a scouting department. Do you think the scouting department tells coaches what system to run? I promise you neither does.
There’s a long long way from not listening to other voices and what is basically a scouting department telling the coaching staff what system they use.
