However, his save percentage plummeted when he went to Tampa. In Lindback’s first season, he had a .902 save percentage with a 2.90 GAA, and in his second season, he had a .891 save percentage with a 2.90 GAA. Last season he topped .905 save percentage for the first time since he was on the Predators. However, at the start of last season when Lindback was on the Stars, he had a .875 save percentage with a 3.71 GAA. It wasn’t until he was traded to Buffalo when he started to post good numbers.

October 25, 2015 / Hockey, The Wire Troll

Slow start? Whatever. After his hat trick Saturday against the Senators, Boedker now has four goals in his last three games, so pounce on him while you can. His ice time is way up, and the production will follow.

NHL Free Agency Recap: Forwards, Part Two

October 12, 2015 / Free agents, Hockey, Player profile, Scott Maran, Transactional analysis

We really thought some team was going to fork over a contract of four or more years to Williams, so we’re really surprised at how short of a term the Capitals got him for. We think this is great value for the Capitals and they didn’t have to break the bank. Williams will surely help in the Capitals’ playoff run and can add some much needed secondary scoring.

Francois Beauchemin 2015-16 Outlook

Beauchemin heading to the Avalanche might lower his point total a little because Anaheim was such a high-scoring team and — last season at least — Colorado was not. The Ducks ranked 10th in goals while the Avalanche was 21st. However, we don’t think that his point total will be too affected by switching teams, but rather that it will drop because last season his shooting percentage was more than double his career average.

NHL Free Agency Recap: Goalies

October 4, 2015 / Free agents, Hockey, Player profile, Scott Maran, Transactional analysis

We always thought of Enroth as the Sabres’ goalie of the future and believed he had the potential to be a starter in the NHL. Considering how cheap the Kings signed him for, we think they were able to sign a solid backup for a very team-friendly price. However, we don’t like this deal from Enroth’s perspective for reasons we will get into below.
