    Love seeing Slaf, Laf, and Byfield on there. Gives much needed reassurance to fans that you just have to be patient sometimes.

    I also read Arpon Basu’s article this morning

    You sorted on goals for? Hardly the best metric to use. You could at least use Goals for/60, or go further and use goals% or xG%. They’ve definitely been a great line this year, but I wouldn’t classify them as one of the best in the league

  5. unbjames

    While GF isn’t the best metric, that’s good company to be in (McDavid, MacKinnon, and co.)

  6. Goals for lol. Goals % or xGF% should be the standard with this

  7. FlowShredder

    it’s the third line with the most minute played, it’d be pretty sad if they wern’t in the top 10

  8. campbell_love

    Sorting by goals for. Incredible stuff here OP

  9. RocketRousse

    Using the same parameters, the line is:

    48th in xG%

    43rd in G%

    26th in GF/60

    34th in xGF/60

    What this tells us is the Slaf-Suzuki-Caufield line is definitely a 1st line in the NHL right now, but far from elite yet. Expect those numbers to go up as the players get more experience though.

    Another interesting thing is they’re great at finishing their plays. They’re better at actual goals than they are at expected goals, meaning they defy the odds when you take into account where and how those scoring chance take place. A great quality to have. Will that portion regress? Hard to tell, because Suzuki had an amazing goal scoring year while Caufield went through a rough year, as you can see through their shooting percentages:

    Suzuki: 17,8%

    Slaf: 13,2%

    Caufield: 8,9%

    Anyway, I’m very much excited to see how they fare next year!

    only a matter of time. the cup will soon be ours

  11. This is kinda like saying « zach hyman was one of the best players in the league » because he ended up with a lot of goals

  12. Unreal that they have the lowest Goals % by far of these ten lines

    Unreal that this is at 80 upvotes as I type this

    Glad to see replies being very sober at least

  13. JustFred24

    Lowest goal% on the list, 3rd in minutes, and the list you screenshotted is sorted by goals for.

  14. sbrooksc77

    xgf% is still 54.1% Which is still really good for probably the youngest top line in the nhl. One guy just turned 20. Definitely need to keep this line together. Caufield needs a big winger on his line and Slaf fits like a glove.
