Well with Cody Eakin in, in addition to wrecking Markstrom, we apparently go up from 107 pts to 107.1 pts, and our chance to make the playoffs also goes up from 96% to 97%…. but our chance to win the division drops down from 62% to 60%.

So Eakin tanks our goaltending and costs us points against the Oilers, but gets us 0.1 more pts and increases our chance to make the playoffs by 1%. I think I’d rather replace him.

Edit: Oh, and somehow the only defenceman Eakin impacts is Kylington, actually making him better by 0.1… while making Markstrom worse by 0.4. All other D stay the same.
