Anaheim

Due to “popular” demand I threw together the Anaheim tables. I always find it interesting when goaltenders perform worse offensively with all players, seriously this cant be error can it? A few players worth mentioning:

Lupul, traded to Edmonton, is nothing to get excited about; his line mates appear to do all the work. A few questions for the Anaheim coach, however, why was Lupul played with Getzlaf on the power-play, but not even strength.

Selanne: No question that he was an important part of Anaheim’s offense this year, Selanne helped every player he played with (the only exception is Marchant, who spent almost no time on the power-play). You didn’t need a complicated table to find that out.

McDonald was also an offensive force to be handled, but he spent over 70% of his time with Selanne over the course of the season and as such their scores are highly correlated, determining who is better using this method would be challenging, that being said both performed better as a tandem, so they complimented eachother.

Salei is an interesting player, helping almost everyone offensively even strength and hurting everyone on the powerplay, he doesn’t appear to have a set partner I could look at.

Sykora wont be missed he provided no “extra” offense on either even strength or the powerplay, maybe that’s why he’s still unsigned.
