Weirdly....he didn't actually play much with connor.

Minutes with linemate...

Draisaitl 312.8
Podkolzin 298.1

Savoie 258.8
RNH 232.0

McDavid 130.9
Howard 98.2

Henrique 89.0
Hyman 88.2

Mangiapane 73.8
Frederic 72.3

Samanski 70.4
Dickinson 46.0

Janmark 43.8
Kapanen 35.9
 
Mantha is kinda JVR redux. Everyone knows he's skilled and productive but he's just never loved or even liked much by any coach or org.


It's kind of a weird move by sunny tbh - he had a good chunk of capspace - near $9m, to spend on a true impact forward, and now added a just ok guy like Mantha for half of that and has about the same left to spend on another forward.

i was expecting him to really weaponize that ~$9m but this isn't that i don't think.

I use offense because I think that’s what coaches think about in usage/deployment, but I have no idea if that’s right. Both would impact the stats.
 
a big part of the sissons signing is that he was a legit valuable part of the Knights' 3rd line for their cup run.

whether it's smart to judge him on a playoffs run is up for debate - but at the same time Sissons has made the playoffs most every year he's been in the league and played more than just a 4th line part in all of those years.

the most common lines for their playoffs run:

Barbashev - Eichel - Dorofyev
Howden - Karlsson - Marner
Hertl - Sissons - Stone
C.Smith - Dowd - Kolesar​

I guess there is some debate on whether Sissons or Hertl played more C, though with karlsson's injury they both needed to at times. But I think in general when healthy Sissons was the 3C for the playoffs.

Though Sissons also spent lots of time with Dowd and Smith, with Stone up on the Eichel line and Hertl filling in for Karlsson at 2C.

So scissors got crazy d usage, posted a positive xgf and still produced.

I think he’s legit good. Crazy overpaid but I suspect that was to keep the deal to 2 years.
 
tough to compare team to team i think.


QOC Last Year

Matthews +2.75off +0.34def = +3.09
Knies +1.83off +0.13def = +1.96

Myers +0.22off -0.15def = +0.07





New guys last year:

Blueger +2.14off -0.10def = +2.04
Roslovic +1.01off -0.19def = +0.82
Duhaime +0.60off -0.30def = +0.30
Sissons +0.00off -0.45def = -0.45
Paul -0.25off -0.38def = -0.63

Tanev +1.80off +0.13def = +1.93
Raddysh +1.70off +0.02def = +1.72
Andrae +0.34off -0.25def = +0.09



There's a lot of team/division effects here tho looks like. Especially for guys in the pacific.

Sissons Season +0.00off -0.45def = -0.45
Sissons Playoffs +2.43off +0.05def = +2.48

despite the wild swing, both would have him about 8th/9th amongst the regular forwards on the team.
