Nazem Kadri shot 7.5% last season, 16 goals on 213 shots. Among players who took 100+ shots, the league average was 12.2%.
Same ice time, 77 games played. Can Colorado unlock him next season?
8 Central bounce-back candidates, fantasy outlook on each: https://t.co/Nppssbbp0X
Celebrini: 5 years, $18.8M AAV. Biggest contract in NHL history.
It's also a discount.
$18.8M on a projected $113M cap in 27-28 = 16.6%
Carlsson's $18M on $104M in 26-27 = 17.3%
Higher number. Smaller slice. And he's UFA in 2032 at 26.
Egor Chinakhov had 6 points in 29 games as a Blue Jacket.
Pittsburgh traded for him and he put up 36 in 43.
Same player. Same season.

@FriedgeHNIC #88 belongs in a Blackhawks jersey! Pricey but if you got it, spend it.
2 years with a climbing cap - Knight, Bowen, Vlasic, Bedard, Nazar all signed until 2029.
Huge for Dallas and Stars Fans!
Kicking the can down the road until January 1st. Bought valuable time for the front office.
