Check out this chart. I wanted to know, is it true that players are not signing this year?
The past 4 years, by Oct 1, 6-9 players signed with more than a 6.5% cap hit. This year, there was only 1, Kaprizov.
Now that Kaprizov signed (and Hughes Oct 1), will the dominoes fall?

Is it odd that McDavid hasn't signed yet?
Let's look at some data. Looking at the top 3 UFA signings for the last 3 seasons, it's actually normal for someone like McDavid to not be signed yet.
So when should #Oilers fans worry? January.
But for now? Seems premature.

Per Oilersnation on the other site. This has gotta be something bigger. I can't imagine them delaying a presser for another minor leaguer.

That's more like it. Despite the first period, from the perspective of goals above expected, that was one of the #Oilers best games this series.
Let's get a stranglehold on this series tonight!!!

Gut check time for the #Oilers!
Here are the Goals Above Expected per Game (src: Moneypuck). Edmonton has routinely been below expected. Florida is TRENDING up. Not good
McDavid said they haven't played their best yet. I still believe the best is coming. But it needs to be in game 4

Interesting. In game 3, offensively Edmonton's xGoals was far less than in games 1 and 2. But with the Oilers scoring 6 goals, they clearly solved Oettinger last night.

This is something the #Oilers really need to clean up tonight (data from Moneypuck).
While Vegas' xGoal were down in game 3, the xGoals from high danger chances were way up. This needs to go down, and will also help Skinner make that extra save.

Here are updated xGoals (source: Moneypuck). We've all heard how lopsided this game was. But one stat I haven't seen:
In game 5, LA had a total of 2.02 xGoals. For Edmonton, if you only count high dangers chances, the Oilers had 3.37 xGoals, or 1.35 more than all of LAs chances! That's lopsided!

#Oilers v Kings so far.
Some things stand-out in Moneypuck's xGoals per game:
1. The Oil played much better in Game 4 than people are saying. high danger chances, and chances overall dropped, even with OT
2. The Oil's offence was far better in 3 and 4
Can they continue these trends in LA?

If the Oilers are going to win tonight, they need to fix both issues in this chart. Yes, goaltending needs to be better, but the Oilers need to cut down the high danger shots against. And maybe increase their own high danger shots on Kuemper.

So many questions with Edmonton, most notably, how injured are they actually? compared to last year?
Will playoff Stu Skinner make an appearance? Can they win without Ekholm?
But I can't bet against McDavid and Draisaitl.

Montreal in 7
Stats are a great help in predicting playoffs. You can get up to a 5% accuracy, as oppose to only 2% when you are just guessing 🤣
I picked Montreal as they are too young to know that they should lose, and Washington lost a step after Ovechkin past Gretzky.
Am I wrong? (Probably)

This one will be closer than most think. For me, it comes down to whether Hill is at his best this series.

Outside of the Oilers-Kings series, this is the one I'm most excited about. Both team are playing well right now, and Brady Tkachuk is back.
In the end though, I think the Leafs will squeak by the Sens.

I realize I'm going against most predictions here. I just think the Devils will have some fight in them. And Carolina, I don't think they are a great playoff team.

Winnipeg in 4
The Blues have recently done a great job scoring more goals than expected. But with Hellebuyck in net, and Holloway injured, scoring goals are going to be much harder.
And Winnipeg, the best team in the league, has something to prove.
