for Sharangovich- sure unlikely to be a 20% shooter going forward, but credit is due to the Flames they 'bought' him after a 9% season and he's not that either. his previous 2 years and career average suggest 14-15%. I know the 'eye test' is fraught with problems- but the guy has some finish/a nice shot that stands out to me in a way that isn't true of every guy the Flames (or any team for that matter) has had with a bit of a hot streak season , so I think this guy can be an NHL goal scorer


(as for Kuzmenko I guess we don't know what he is- he's an imperfect hockey player for sure, but I guess all we know is over 137 NHL games his shooting percentage is 22% is he that? probably not especially as there are no NHL players active with a lengthy career at that level- maybe he's a 16% guy, maybe not, dunno...)
I agree with virtually all of this.

Yegor 100% has a very good shot, and is a very good player. But high shooting% has a number of calgary fans vastly overrating him now (really, mentions of him as a perennial 35+ goal scorer?)

In all, he's played exactly how I expected him to play in calgary, with some shooting% luck to boost it.

If he ends up as a consistent 25g/50p guy, thats where I expect to slot Yegor at.
