Player Discussion: Rasmus Kupari

[Buffdog]

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

The thought crossed my mind

 

[DRW204]

Very cool. Where did you get that chart from?

the data is from the nhl , and you can generate a report here to do w/e u want with it: NHL Edge Report Generator - Frozen Tools

the highest fwds in the league at the 20+ mph threshold are top 6ers

 

[Crocket]

Kupari is playing so well, the line is actually. He's getting chances too.

How high are those forwards?

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

Lowry have that many bursts over 20 mph and that high a top speed is a surprise.

Barron is a (bit of a) surprise

shared your thoughts initially when i looked at last year's stats in post#94 below

Kupari certainly does bring speed. Last year he had the highest top speed of Jets fwds and hit the 20mph threshold at V high per game rate.

and the opposing view

If Kupari could get his hands working, he's in pretty elite territory. He looks like he's getting better in all areas every game, I'd love to see him with KC or Ehlers. Linemates with speed and finishing ability.

He really seems like he could have a lot of untapped potential. Case in point last night when he blew past everyone and had a great scoring opportunity in alone.

and the opposing view

Some of that NHL Edge Data is pretty cool. I think Fleury has the highest speed burst on defense.

The one I was watching is the distance travelled and Morrissey is way up there, 5th in the NHL in ES distance travelled. De Melo in contrast is among the lowest for distance travelled per 60. Scheifele is up there too. Higher than I thought he would be be, but when you measure distance travelled if you defend a lot or break down defensively it seems like it would add to the skating out there. But also tells you who is doing the legwork on this team.

Amazing that KC and Ehlers don't show up on these speed lists. Just goes to show have bloody fast Kupari is though.

I'd like to see Kupari get a run a bit higher in the lineup, maybe with Perfetti and Ehlers. He's been really good and I think his ceiling is higher than a 4C.

Or Kupari Names and Perfetti while Ehlers is injured.

Stamkos is obviously hacking the NHL Edge system...

I wonder though if players hit their fastest speeds on the PK, because that is the races, whereas going one on one downhill on a d-man you have to be a bit shiftier, and you are always slower with the puck than without it. Past couple of games you've seen Barron really explode on the PK too, where you get those one on ones with tired d-men and you just bury them in a race. Speed is great, I remember the Pens brought in a world class speed skater on their team, Koltsov I think, wasn't a very hockey player though. Both Kupari and Barron, and Appleton too could stand some more practice in the shooting department.

Sure, if Ehlers is not day-to-day.

I also think the Jets can shake up the Lowry line, considering that Appleton just isn't doing much offensively.

Maybe...
