Hopefully this time I didn’t make a mistake, haha.
Flyers players rankings using Evolving Hockey’s GAR/xGAR metric, which is their WAR-type stat. You want higher numbers than lower.
Let me know if you enjoy this type of content as if there’s interest I can continue to post these periodically!
Pretty much matches the eye test to me, only one I might think looks a bit better than their score here would be Dvorak
Jamie ~~revenge~~ contract year
Like music to my ears, but in a visual sense so like idk like art to my eyes?? Idk but fuck yeah Jamie keep proving the believes right on the eye test and the analytics (and soon more the scoresheet too)
I really should spend some time better understanding these analytic metrics. Some questions/thoughts I have though.
What exactly is the Pen column representing? Take/draw seems to me like you’re taking penalties taken over penalties drawn. But Michkov with 0% means that makes no sense. While he’s drawn some penalties, I feel like he’s taken more than he’s drawn. Drysdale I feel also has taken a number of penalties compared to drawn (less confident with him), but he’s super high on percentage there? Just trying to understand beyond “higher is good.”
After a really strong start, I’ve been very slightly disappointed with Brink’s, but I’m still a little surprised he’s that far down compared to other players.
Drysdale the best defenseman overall? I’ll take it.

Michkov above Cates defensively? That’s unexpected.
