Thread: Corsi Rel 60 Dream Team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>You should be careful with this word when describing Corsi.

It means that specific player is getting more shot attempts for than against when he is on the ice compared to his teammates when they are on the ice. So if your sole metric for "performance" is shot attempts, then you could say that you are outperforming your teammates. However, there are other things that it doesn't take into consideration like quality of teammates (QoT), quality of competition (QoC), and time on ice (TOI).

Like all stats, Corsi (relative or otherwise) is a good tool when evaluated in conjunction with other metrics. In a vacuum, it can be incredibly misleading.</div></div>

Oh, I agree. I was meaning in the sense of outperforming in terms of Corsi, not actually "outperforming" their teammates.

Thread: Ovi extension plus CBO plus offseason plans
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yojimbo</b></div><div>His contract 5 more years at $5.75M. He will be 34 half way through next season, and 38 when the contract expires. The probability is diminishing returns each season. You might not be able to replace his numbers next year, but there is a lot that can be done with $5.75M space next year, and a lot to be done with it for the 4 years following next year.

Backstrom is getting a $2.5M bump next year.
Only 4 of the current NHL roster D under contract for next year. Two of those aren't really top-4 quality.
Of the 3 goalies under contract there is a total of 55 NHL games experience. Plus, the one with 29 games experience is in the AHL, when he really belongs.

Replacing a 34 year old winger is not the top concern vs having $5.75M more to use.</div></div>

I think Oshie is going to be at the same level (or close) next season. With the expansion draft looming, I'd expect MacLellan would work out a deal for Seattle to select Oshie in the expansion draft.
