Quoting: dgibb10
Relative expected goals 5v5:
Killorn in the 4 years before Anaheim acquired him:
-2.6%,-6.2%,-4.6%,-3.5%
Palat in the last 4 years:
6.8%,3%,1%,3.9%
Feels a little cherry picked to ignore the more recent year, no? Fine to include those years in addition, but I wouldn’t cut it out entirely
I think these two comments are true from a statistical pov:
1. Killorn is undoubted a higher point producing player than Palat
2. This past year, Killorn’s team had a better relative performance with him on the ice vs Palat’s team with him, though in previous years, Palat held the vantage.
I wouldn’t anticipate Killorn’s contract to be attractive at all in the open market. With similar cap, that would imply Palat’s would be one that teams would altogether avoid, even with a reasonable sweetener. I’m not sure I have much more to say tbh. Wish you and your devils good luck
