I will probably never agree that shooting percentage, or high danger shooting percentage, is significantly influenced by luck. For sure luck is a component, but being able to bury chances is definitely a skill IMO. Yes these percentages vary for players every year, but I don’t believe that’s because all other factors are being held constant.
Of the departing players, I’m most interested in seeing how Ferland does. Did Flames trade an emerging sniper, power forward combo? Or a streaky player who maxed out playing with 2 great players.

From all that analysis I would wonder something different.
Did Ferland's high dangerous pass ratio come from who he played with or who he is?
I asked that in a different way in the story but wondering if Lindholm's high tendency to pass would result in a big jump in his dangerous pass index when joined with Monahan and Gaudreau.
That seems more likely to me from the eye test of Ferland last year.
