Looking under the hood suggests these netminders weren’t as bad as they seemed last season and/or made noteworthy adjustments to...
The goaltending carousel nearly spun off its axis this offseason as NHL teams jockeyed to improve performance in the crease. Signings were made. Trades occurred. Reclamation projects were undertaken. And several big-name netminders – think Connor Hellebuyck and John Gibson – are still available on the trade market.
Demko was 58th in moneypuck.com’s goals saved above expected rankings last year. But in the previous two seasons, he was well inside the top-20. With a better team surrounding him, and the confidence that comes with it, I think Demko should be near the top once again.Here’s the thing with Grubauer: his traditional numbers from the 2022-23 season are somewhat misleading. The 31-year old from Germany posted a less-than-stellar .895 save percentage. But his advanced metrics are better.
Why? Because toward the end of the 2022-23 season, Kahkonen began to overhaul his game. Goaltending coach Thomas Speer implemented several key changes aimed at keeping Kahkonen in control and square to the shooter. Which I think will pay dividends. But here’s why I think he’s due to bounce back: since Markstrom became a full-time NHL goaltender in 2015-16, it was the first time his save percentage dropped below the ninety percent threshold. And while Markstrom has had a few mild seasons previously, he’s always rebounded.
