Goalie cards now available on https://upsidedownhockey.herokuapp.com/



All data is from moneypuck and uses GSAx/60 as a percentile of the goalie population with min 10 GP for the overall rating in the top left corner

Low Danger, Medium Danger, and High Danger percentiles/z scores are all derived from GSAx/shot for each danger level which also uses a 10GP min cutoff

Rebound control percentiles/z scores is calculated based on rebounds above expected per 60, also with a 10GP min cutoff

I also have data on puck freezes and expected freezes but I didnt like how it looked in the chart, I might add that later. I could also add different charts for 5v5, penalty kill, etc

I just made these in a couple hours today so there may be some bugs. Im also working on getting better image quality like the one posted here^ (Old images Ive posted have used the "upload to imgur" button which seems to compress the image which significantly reduces quality)

“Playing with men” doesn’t mean that much. Just ask Kakko is his biggest fan @Devil .

Awesome stuff!

I just want to win im getting older and dont know how long I got left to play

If Anderson had 2 years left on his deal, you’d have a point. But he has 5 years taking him to his age 33 season. His salary is also more than his cap hit, he’s owed 30.5 mill over the next 5 years. A team is better off signing any one of these players to a 5-6 year deal than giving up assets for Anderson.

Burakovsky (6 mill x 6)
Copp (5.5 mill x 5-6 years)
Marchment (4.5 mill x 4-5 years)
Mikheyev ( 5 mill x 4-5 years)
Niederreter (5.5 mill x 5)
Rakell (5 mill x 5)
Vatrano (3.5-4 mill x 4)

All better than Anderson and no one except maybe Burakovsky would want 7 years.

Avs reunion

I'm pretty confident teams and front offices value Anderson and his playstyle more than those players save for Copp and Burakovsky. Not many players in the league have his skillset-combination of speed and size but I won't get into that. Enough Anderson talks for today.

Bowen Byram + Alex Newhook became the first 2019 draft picks to lift the Stanley Cup. Also Justus Annunen is the first player from the 2018 class to lift the Cup. Robert Thomas was first from 2017. And it looks like Ross Colton is still the only 2016 pick that has done it. https://t.co/xdl0ZdEYLr

Did you guys say your daily prayer to our God defensive dman Jonas Siegenthaler yet?

Okay, we finally selected TOP10 defensive defensemen of the 2021-2022 season. It was not easy to pick number one here. In the end, the decision was between Siegenthaler, McAvoy and Heiskanen. We feel Siegenthaler deserves to be there. He had great defensive season! pic.twitter.com/SrkwbJQJUv

Both Marchment and Niederreter have a combination of speed and size. Most teams if given the option of giving up a 1st for Anderson or signing Marchment or Niederreter , they would choose the latter.

I'll believe it when there are the same reports of significant interest and serious offers for either of them like there are for Anderson.

i wonder if the avs would take him back.

Avs, Leafs, Boston, Carolina should all be eyeing him rn

1 year 3 to 4 mill

You argued that some lesser markets have no choice but to trade for players. I’m saying there are a lot of wingers who provide more value than Anderson (and a similar play style) who can be signed in free agency for around the same AAV/term. Teams like WPG, EDM, and NYI who have trouble acquiring big time free agents would have no problem signing one of those FA wingers.

There has been reports that teams are interested in Anderson and Hughes has set a high price, but there have been no reliable reports of teams offering a 1st rd pick

At least Siegenthaler was 4th in ATOI among Devils D (north of 20 mins) and 3rd in SHTOI (although by a negligible amount, Severson and Graves were both around 2:30 per game too). Like, I wouldn’t have him on a list with the likes of Pelech, Toews, McAvoy, and Slavin, but at least he was a top 4 guy. Pettersson is a strange addition given he had less than 16 minutes of ice time per night (#5 among Pens regulars on the blueline) and basically no PK time. Like, Zadorov and Gudbranson were good 3rd pair defensive guys and both of them played big PK minutes. I wouldn’t say they should be on this list, but they deserve to be on it more than Pettersson lol

Brodie is better than all of Petterson, Gudbranson and
Zadarov.

yeah duh lol

Well, he’s not on that list and I thought it was a bit strange, that’s all.

If the Devils end up getting Shane Wright, they should trade for Puljujarvi and go with this top 9 next season

Bratt-Hughes-Puljujarvi
Holtz-Hischier-Mercer
Sharan-Wright-Johnson

Something interesting I heard debated briefly on a podcast—is Corey Perry a hall of famer? He doesn’t quite have the rate stats (over 400 goals and 850 points is meh for a HHOF case, and he’s not gonna hit 1k points and likely not even 450 goals), but he has won almost literally everything there is to win:

- OHL Cup Champion (and most points)
- U17 Bronze (the only thing he didn’t win, and he still medalled)
- U18 Gold
- OHL Champion
- Memorial Cup Champion
- Basically every award in the OHL, CHL, and Memorial Cup lol
- WJC Gold
- Stanley Cup Champion
- 2x Olympic Gold
- Hart
- Rocket Richard
- World Championship Gold
- World Cup Gold

Like, this is right up there with Scott Niedermayer for one of the most impressive trophy cases in terms of breadth of all time. He also fits the narrative some people like to go with (Matt Larkin of The Hockey News springs to mind but I think some others use the same logic) of “was he a top 5 player at his position for a period of 5 years?” and like, yeah, he kinda was lol, he got at least some end of year all star team votes in 8 consecutive seasons, including two 1st team all star finishes (and a Hart). One of the best power forwards and scoring wingers of his generation in his prime, without a doubt. I think he’s got a very strong case based on trophy cabinet alone. I hope that falling off towards the end of his career and turning into the “loser” (losing 3 straight finals with 3 different teams) isn’t held against him, because honestly it’s kind of impressive that he reinvented himself and is able to remain a solid contributor on a contender, and it’s really hard to call him a loser when most players never reach the Cup final, let alone 4 times with 4 different teams, including (crucially for the HHOF case because they hate guys without rings) a victory in one of them. And he’s won quite literally every other thing ever, almost always as a key contributor (bunch of tournament MVPs and the like in there).

Zub snubbed

Perry is really an interesting HOF case. Even though he's won everything there is to win, I feel like his peak didn't last long enough compared to most HOFers.

Oh the fact Perry has been able to reinvent himself in a reduced role with less ice time (4th line) and has still been able to be noteworthy is impressive and often overlooked.
Even more so is that he’s done so in the playoffs.

If you’re in a cup run situation - Perry on your 4th line for his AAV is irreplaceable asset.

Do I think Perry should go in the HOF, no not really, more hall of very good but considering who else has been inducted into the HOF, he has a decent shot
