Player Discussion: Rasmus Kupari

[Jet]

Just to note... Given Kupari's ice time, if he scored at the same rate as most bottom 6 forwards (including Lowry, Iafallo, etc.) then he'd be expected to score about 4 or 5 goals in 70 games. So his drought isn't that remarkable. He's had very little ice time and all at 5v5 on the 4th line or on the PK.

I see signs of more offense, but more importantly, he's playing an effective 200 foot game on an effective 4th line.

So you're saying there's a chance of my 10-15-25?

 

[Gm0ney]

That's neat! Look at Nik - just f***ing tearing it up every shift

Ehlers uses the gravity of the opposition's net to slingshot himself around the zone.

So you're saying there's a chance of my 10-15-25?

Depends on ice-time, but based on his play so far this season I think that might be in reach if he plays 10-12 even-strength minutes all season.

 

[SLAYER]

I'm assuming that this data is coming from a wearable technology... I've seen a couple of different types out there.

I believe some game equipment (and jerseys maybe?) and pucks are chipped to track this data. This is how they get skating speed, puck speed, can produce visualizations, gather more shot/metric data, etc.

This has been happening for a few years now:

The NHL Puck and Player Tracking technology will include 14-16 antennae installed in the arena rafters; four cameras to support the tracking functionality; one sensor placed on the shoulder pads of every player on each team; and 40 pucks manufactured with a sensor inside for each game. The technology is to be deployed in all 31 NHL arenas at some point during the 2019-20 season.

I think the way that line has started I could see Arniel trusting them and deploying them more often when we don't necessarily need offense - so maybe it's possible?

 

[Crocket]

so replaceable, underperforming, and has 100% maxed out as a player.....

Definitely not maxed out.

yes this is all based on the NHL Edge data.

they publish stats on zone time too which i've seen brought up on this forum often.

really the % of zone time is negligible b/w the Jets fwds, it's what you do with it. for the most part, we're talking couple % points of even strength TOI for the top-9ers. this is based on last year's NHL edge data against GF-GA for example (didn't know the proper thread for this so mods can move if necessary):

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Getting better every game.

20 goals next year.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

If he keeps up his play, I might have to get a Kupari jersey.

 

[Bender Duster]

I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by Kupari so far. His speed helps tilt the ice.

 

[Channelcat]

I’ve been very pleasantly surprised by Kupari so far. His speed helps tilt the ice.

Good speed and size too. On that one breakaway he didn't really use his speed, he got position and powered through. Actually reminded me of Jamie Benn.

 

[Jet]

I'm so happy so see this development with Kupari. I really wanted to see either he, Barron or Gus take the next step and I'm glad it was Rasmus

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

Kupari has more goals than Dubois, just saying

 

[Jetland162702]

Eric Comrie is only 1 goal behind PLD.

 

[bustamente]

If Kupari hits nobody will want to make trades with Chevy ever again

 

[voyageur]

Was that Heiskanen he completely jammed up at the blue line? Nice rebound season so far. I think this was the player Chevy thought he had traded for.

a little refresh on the Jets fwd speed stats and how Rasmus Ferrari is rating...

He spells and pronouces it "Jordie"

Considering that the y axis only has a 3.5 mph variance, where the guys fall on the x axis is much more impressive to me

Also, since it's absolute numbers, the fact that Barron and Kupari have that many instances is super impressive due to the fact that they play fewer minutes

 

[surixon]

Yeah he's looked good. As I mentioned in the pgt he reminds me of Helm with his speed, faceoffs and forecheck ability.

 

[Adam da bomb]

A young names?

Yeah doubt most can really notice a 0.5 mph difference which doesn't even equate to 1 full kmh. The instances of reaching a certain threshold is much more interesting.

That a 31 and a half year old Lowry is still hitting those speeds is something that impressed me.

Very cool. Where did you get that chart from?

I wonder if it's because of the lower minutes that they are able to go full tilt more frequently than the guys who play more
