Last season:
It was better than it looked, b/c goaltending was really bad.
Worse (GA - xGA)/60:
Ottawa +0.44
MIN +0.37
SJ +0.28
PHL +0.27
Chi +0.25
TB +0.20
NJ +0.17
DAL +0.16
CAL +0.15
5x5 (SVA): xGF% 52.30% (8), HDCF 53.32% (9), PP xGF/60 (29), PK xGA/60 (7)
PP needs fixing, otherwise they're on the right track.
5x5 GF/60 (26), xGF/60 (19), they need to learn how to finish
Off season:
Didn't add or subtract much, couple marginal roster adds (Eklind, Abols), Atkinson, Staal gone, Fedotov arrived.
Farabee - Couts - Michkov
Tippett - Frost - TK
Cates - Laughton - Foerster/Brink (Foerster moving back to LW?)
Lycksell - Poehling - Hathaway
York - Sanheim
Seeler - Drysdale
Zamula - Risto
Ginning - Attard - Johnson
Holding pattern, no one at LHV ready to push to start.
Laughton and TK are potential trades, but Briere is being patient.
Risto probably next summer (don't want to pay to move him).
Ginning/Attard probably trade throw-ins given their age (no upside left).
Draft:
Luchanko, gamble on upside, August birthday, great skill package but hasn't taken next step up, will he?
Berglund, feels like a reach
Gill, another upside gamble on an August birthday, size, skill, RHD was certainly not a "need"
Ruohonen, depth center, in 4th rd, organizational need (not just NHL, wings have to play with someone in LHV)
Powell, overage PF coming off breakout year, but so-so PO performance raises red flags for me
