Hearing the new EDM coach will be Kris Knoblauch from AHL Hartford. He coached Connor McDavid at OHL Erie

Senior advisor Paul Coffey is also stepping behind the bench as assistant coach, according to the Oilers.

Dave Manson was fired along with Jay Woodcroft.

5v5 xGA per 60:
This 2.61
Last 2.83

5v5 xGF%
This 48%
Last 49.2%

- Lunaion



Off H-R's 1st page for each season

'22-'23 5V5
xGF = 188.8 / 82 = 2.23., aGF = 197 / 82 = 2.40
XGA = 200.9 / 82 = 2.45, aGA = 204 / 82 = 2.49

'23-'24
xGF = 27.1/ 15 = 1.81., aGF = 33 / 15 = 2.20
XGA = 29.1/ 82 = 1.94, aGA = 31 / 15 = 2.07

Actual GF down 10% YoY, while xGF down 19%
Actual GA down 12% YoY, while xGA down 21%


They have reduced actual GA and actual GF both pretty significantly (~20%), based on reducing both xGF and xGA less significantly (~11%).

Now they need to
A) find that 3rd line to contribute GF while not being turnover kings and giving back more than their production through higher GA.
B) get Tage, Tuch and Dahlin producing more while still holding the line on GA.
C) finding a way to limit the damage the 3rd pair is contributing to GA.

Bubble- you are likely being traded or brought out to the wood shed

Possible bubble- Your role is being diminished or you are now on a list of possibilities when other GM’s call

Yeah.
Disagree on both Samuelsson and Cozens.

My numbers are from NST. Much cleaner to take per 60 numbers, elimate PP's.

I know, but it was per game, not per 60. Usually they call more penalties early in the season, so it get s a little tilted comparing to last season as a whole.

“Kevyn’s leadership and vision over the past two seasons has proven invaluable, and I’m confident in his ability to continue move us forward as an organization,” owner Terry Pegula said in statement. “I, along with fans and community, am happy to see Kevyn continue to build a winning culture both on and off the ice.”
