Coyotes Usage: Team seems about finished

Hino is a RW, not C, despite what it says here.

Grabner and Panik are WAY too high in the lineup.

Michael Grabner had 2.09 S/gp in bottom-six minutes in defensive usage. He's also what's known as a "chance maker" from Alex Novet's goal scoring style analysis from hockeygraphs, which means we can expect above-average shooting percentages from him. Coupled with top-line minutes alongside a couple of terrific playmakers, and we could see him pot 30 goals this year. He's not much more than a pure gunner, but he's a solid one, and that's the piece that was missing for the Yotes at 1RW.

Richard Panik, meanwhile, in 35 games with Arizona last year, posted a +6.1 Corsi Rel and a +6.4 Fenwick Rel in even usage while still netting 8 goals and 19 points on reasonable shooting. He's a solid top-six play driver/checker in the Backlund/Frolik model. Perfectly adequate for a second line role where his linemates do most of the scoring.

Grabner couldn't even crack the NJ roster for playoffs and I don't think there is another team in the league that would put Panik in a top 6 role.

NHL GMs and coaches are not an authority on player evaluation. Reasons for this include:
A well-regarded GM gave a 4-year deal to a 24-year old with <0.33 AHL pts/gp
Cody McLeod, 0th percentile in Shot Contributions/60 and Shot Assists/60 was given an NHL contract.
Grabner's 27 goals ranked 2nd among players who played for the Devils last year, tied for 46th in the NHL with Patrick Marleau, Mika Zibanejad, Matt Duchene and Jonathan Huberdeau. Worth noting he generally had fewer minutes and lower-quality teammates than his goal scoring comparables.
Panik's possession metrics with Arizona were easily in elite territory, even on a poor team. It's pretty clear that Panik is an elite driver of possession that any team planning to run a defense/possession focused forward in their top-6 would do well to use..
