I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to advanced stats.. Not asking for a lesson or anything, but are they biased towards different approaches? For example, the Jets greatest strengths when it comes to offence is on the counter attack and through the cycle. Just wondering if there's more of a bias towards shot volume? our PP has also been abysmal, ranking either 32nd or 31st. which probably skews our overall expected GF/offensive numbers.
I understand the skepticism from a non-Jets fan considering the complete nose dive after the new year last year, rumors of a toxic room, the narrative from fans and media that the Jets would blow it up and head towards a rebuild, Wheeler buy out, Dubios forcing a trade, rumors of Helly not wanting to re-sign and that Scheifele was horrible defensively and toxic and would be shipped out too, leading to other vets and pieces to be sold off to the highest bidders, etc. I would argue that the skepticism most likely played a big part in attendance numbers as well.
The additions of of Vilardi, Iafollo, Kupari, Namestnikov, Neiderreiter and Brossoit have significantly improved our depth which i think fans of other teams seemingly dismiss. The Jets no longer are forced to solely rely the top 6 and Helly. People have said that the Jets lack elite talent which I completely disagree with. Hellebuyck is as an elite a goalie you can get. Morrissey has continued to prove that he's in the upper echelon of NHL defensemen and possible norris candidate, Kyle Connor is 7th in goals scored since 17-18 and Scheifele is 22nd in scoring during the past 5 years being a PPG or better 5 of the last 6 years, scoring 42 in his "off year" and back on pace for another ppg+ season this year.. Our top fwds are not the best of the best, but they're no slouches either which many have painted them as.
