Jagr was obviously skilled even in his final season, but he also had a pretty brutal 6.06% 5v5 individual shooting percentage the season
before he joined Calgary. His finish was even less successful by the time he arrived here.
Here are the 5v5 SH% of various "third" line players in Calgary the last three years:
2015-16 Colborne - 17.81%
2015-16 Bennett - 13.21%
2015-16 Jones - 12.5%
2015-16 Raymond - 8.51%
2015-16 Granlund - 6.67%
2015-16 Jooris - 5.41%
2015-16 Ferland - 2.73%
2016-17 Chiasson - 11.46%
2016-17 Brouwer - 8.82%
2016-17 Bennett - 7.83%
2016-17 Versteeg - 7.14%
2017-18 Jankowski - 12.09%
2017-18 Bennett - 7.14%
2017-18 Versteeg - 6.67% *injured most of the year
2017-18 Hathaway - 4.55%
2017-18 Jagr - 4.00%
2017-18 Lazar - 3.23%
Jagr's abysmal SH% hurt that line, even if he brought skill (and shooting volume) to it.
I'm looking forward to seeing if Austin Czarnik can shoot over ~7% and Bennett / Janko can hold steadily above 7%.
