Not a single Penguin in the bottom 15 is surprising.

It’s all relative to each other so poop relative to crap isn’t half bad

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

How is TJ Brodie not in the bottom 15?

 

[Regal]

Numbers this early can be pretty wonky, but Soucy’s numbers are backed by the eye test. Such a weird regression after being really good for most of last year. He looks like he went from 29 to 37 in one offseason.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Logan Mailloux's rating certainly tracks with the eye test. Looked like a hot mess out there.

 

[mphmiles]

York has really come along the last couple seasons and the Flyers miss him terribly right now.

 

[Breakers]

I have been hating on Tyler Myers longer than anybody in the history of Hfboards

and its going to continue
We complain for 3 years about getting this guy off the roster, can't trade him because of his frigan delay signing bonus

then we re-sign him which is one the 7 mysteries of the world

Hughes is self explanatory.

 

[NyQuil]

JBD second in the league is pretty funny.

Well its relative and he's done very well against weaker opponents.

Yea I hated the signing and it looks even worse now. Even playing like last year he shouldn’t be in the top 4 but the team’s cap situation doesn’t allow them the room to have him on the bottom pair

These ratings seem pretty heavily attached to offensive-oriented players who are producing early, and against defensive-oriented players who get shelled.

 

[WatchfulElm]

Justin Barron in the top 15 doesn't match the eye test at all. He hasn’t been bad, but "average" would describe it well. Certainly not top 15 in the NHL, not even close.

Why did they even bother to sign him?

Apparently he’s very well liked by the organization and teammates.

It's relative to teammates. The team is a trainwreck defensively, so looking "average" is actually pretty good.

Ideally your defensive guys...don't get shelled. Otherwise, what are they defending?

Gavrikov and K'Andre Miller are on the top part of the chart. They play toughs.

 

[Breakers]

recency bias

they ignore the years and years of every defenseman who plays with him struggling,
he gets caved in every year

but....... we made the playoffs last year

This is the central problem with advanced stats that nobody has been able to adequately solve for yet.

change the title if you're using relative numbers.
