How high would Edmonton have to go to get the Ducks to not match? The Ducks have 14.8M in cap space with only 8F signed and still need a backup G as well. They also want to ice a good team and have an internal budget of an unknown amount. Ideally I'd love a 46.9M 7yr deal to keep the RFA compensation under 4 1sts. But if it requires 4 1sts, I am cool with that too.
Obviously a 7yr deal would be needed. 7M? 7.5M? 8M? How high would Edmonton have to go to pry Lindholm away from the Ducks?
So intently discussed and finally yielded in the Oilers analytics community and most of the leading Analytics people is the HSCA D. the position I have pushed since 06-07
there are 25- 33 (29 avg) shots in a game.
17- 20 (18.5 avg) shots largely from .915 to .995 save% area (LSCA)
ie they go in 0.5 to 8.5% of the time.
there are 7.5 to 13.5 shots largely from .915 to .800 save% area (HSCA)
ie they go in 8.5 to 20% of the time.
you kind of wan the Dmen who give up 7.5 worse than league average save % shots.
There is a site that posts this as expected GA for a dman.
when you look at the best in the game at preventing SA and HSC shots you see Pronger; Lidstrom; Hjarlmasson; Doughty.
The last 2 years #1 is Adam Larsson.
There was a question if A. greene drove this.
but it is clear that WOWY says Larsson both offensively and Defensively.
Hampus lindholm is one of the low Sa and elite HSCA D.
but the defensive side of the game looks to be driven by Manson.
Whowever he is still an elite HSCA D.
Now the oilers are allowed to protect 8 Skaters in the Expansion.
We are going to protect the 5th best HSCA save% goalie in Talbot.
1. Price
2. Holtby
3. Schnieder
4. Lundquist
You want to see a goalie who is a victim letting there best HSCA D leave. (stralman)
and
the collapse of an elite HSCA D 1st comp pair to bottom 20 HSCA Mcdonagh and Giarrdi
5. Talbot
