    Danault is still so undervalued, centre’s the second best line in the league and makes 5.5m

    Can someone explain Goal% is it like corsi% but for goals? Thank you 🙂

    This is useful to some degree, but at the end of the day, actual goals is what’s hot.

  5. Can someone explain to me again what we let Danault go for nothing when he was so good for us and wanted to play here?

    For those of you wondering, I looked up the advanced stat and have an easy explanation. At least easy for me to understand it lol. You just have to remember there are expected goals for and expected goals against.

    So let’s say we’re looking at Line A and they have 25 expected goals for when playing but also 15 expected goals against while playing. That’s 40 expected goals total either for or against when the line plays. The expected goal % is basically the % of goals the line is expected to score divided by the total. In the example, you can divide 25 by 40 and get 62.5% expected goals percentage …

    Let’s write it in a sentence so it’s in plain English. You can say something like “for every goal expected to be scored while Line A is playing, there is a 62.5% chance that the goal will be one they score”. On the flipside there is a 37.5% chance the goal will be score by the opposing team.
