Default Sean Tierney's GAR projection model



I don't know who Sean Tierney is or what GAR is, but I'm guessing it wont be popular around these parts as he's predicting the Flames to miss the playoffs

11th in the West. Yeah, it doesn't pass the "reality" test by the Flames position alone.

Sounds like a great reason to post it and bring attention to it.

The Kings at sixth and the Blackhawks, Predators, Senators -- the latter two of which made the Conference Finals last year -- instantly render this invalid and not worth my time.

I like how blue represents hot, and red represents cold. Refreshing take!

"Yes I hate your team"! Haha I love it.

Edit: also, I don't understand why it is "unfinished". So... finish it then post it.

The Kings @ 6th overall? Wtf? They're a lot closer to being a bottom 5 team than they are a top 5.

Since their Cup win in 2014, they've finished with 95, 102, and 86 points. They've lost Voynov, Williams, and Lucic over those years, and really have only added Toffoli. While Kopitar had an awful season last year and we should expect him to bounce back, Carter had his best season in 7 years at the age of 32, and will most definitely regress. It was unlucky for Quick to miss the majority of the season, but Budaj actually performed well for them, putting up nearly identical GAA and SV% to Quick's previous 2 seasons when he was healthy. Worth mentioning too that their top 3 D-men never missed a single game... will that happen again?

I just don't see how the author can justify a 14 point jump in the standings for the Kings, when most signs point to them getting worse, IMO.

WPG at 100 points? Wow, they must have had quite the off-season. I totally missed that.

OTT with 84 points after making the Conference finals. Must have lost some major pieces from this year's playoff run.

If Winnipeg puts it all together, ie. if they get decent goaltending, they could be extremely dangerous. Ridiculous amount of talent on that team.

Yeah, there is no mystery here why Resurrection posted this, his feigned surprise notwithstanding.

OP needs to read the supplementary tweet:

@ChartingHockey
Once I'm finished, I'd be surprised if CGY and STL didn't improve a bit and LAK should drop a bit too but it's an okay first draft.

Calgary, St. Louis and LA aren't the only teams that are out of place though. Nashville and Chicago are two head scratchers.

Goals Above Replacement, and no it's not a rico stat, it actually has predictive value although it's as imperfect as anything.

If I've aggravated you, it was well worth it.
