I'm still wondering how Dallas' goaltending isn't yet dead last in the league

it's because the team has legitimately tightened up their play 5 on 5, and both Niemi and Lehtonen have had decent runs 5 on 5 this year.

But yeah.. Dallas is on track to have the worst 4 vs 5 (SH) save percentage in recorded history by a wide margin. Mostly owing to Lehtonen running a sub .700 save percentage 4 on 5.

I admit I haven't really looked at the spits but I swear every time I pay attention to a Stars' game their goalies' SV% are truly horrific.

That would be the best case scenario for the Capitals (short of Orpik going). That means Orlov and Schmidt are both still in DC. Vanecek is ready for the NHL backup role, and by the time Holtby's contract is up Samsanov will be coming from the KHL.



EDIT: Wilson going would be fine too.

If you think that's bad, the Stars save percentage at 3 on 3 this year is (fittingly) 33.3%

the 2nd worst team in the league is running 54%

Also the Stars have the 3rd worst save percentage in the league when they are on the powerplay.

Like I said, the Stars actually have the 7th highest 5v5 save percentage.. but they do really really bad whenever it isn't 5 on 5.

Yea, I know everyone says, Orpik/Wilson, but I know that poo poo isn't going to happen. Haven't kept an eye on Vanecek, just on Samsanov being the next big guy after Holtby. drat our goalie drafting has been good.

earlier this year the Stars were actually the 2nd best team save percentage at 5 on 5, and something like 23rd overall. This lead to a bizarre argument on twitter amongst analytics types and fans about whether the Stars' goaltender was terrible or excellent.

Most people in the analytics community seem to believe it's just a bad run of luck in a small sample size away from even strength, and the Stars goaltenders have actually been fine this year. Seasoned Dallas fans aren't buying it.

Orpik would take a hefty draft pick bribe, with Wilson there is the faint chance that GMGM is still enamored with him .

Vanecek is probably Grubauer quality (at least as well as I can predict, since goalies are loving voodoo).

Well with Gruby putting up Holtby numbers in his limited starts, it seems a pretty smart move to take him and another of the exposed goalies and have them 1a/1b a season to find a starter when you get to pick a player from each team. But I ain't no GMGM Forsberg for Erat genius.
