Id love to know when Ellis is coming back.
Probably next season put in a 20 game effort.

Been a totally effed up year.
Great two posts.
This is no where near surprising, I am kind of a little shocked that Hayes is the worst but to be fair he's disappeared since his first season. Can't wait until his contract ends.
Very disappointed in Hayes and his -5.1 value. Risto not surprised at all he is not worth anywhere near his salary no less what we gave up for him.NHL Player Cards: Philadelphia Flyers
Data visualizations for each relevant player on the Philadelphia Flyers, stylized as hockey cards.
Interesting player card thing on The Athletic today. Basically rates how everyone on the team stacks up league wide. One of the more interesting points to me is the Market Value vs. Actual Salary. It's based some on how they're playing, but also takes into account the previous two years. That's supposed to help balance out a guy performing outside of his norm, either in a good way or a bad way).
I think the primary stat driving this is GSVA (game score value added) which is made up of "goals, primary assists, secondary assists, shots on goal, blocked shots, penalty differential, faceoffs, 5-on-5 corsi differential, 5-on-5 goal differential" (Measuring Single Game Productivity: An Introduction To Game Score)
Top Flyers
Couturier +$4.4M in value over his 4.3M salary
Farabee +$4.7M
Brassard +$2.8
Worst Flyers
Hayes -$5.1M in value under his $7.1M salary
Ristolainen -4.9
Lindblom -2.8
Couple others of interest..
JvR -2.5M
Thompson -2.1 (provides -1.3M in total value)
MacEwan -2.8 (provides -2M in total value)
Provorov -1.9M
Konecny +0.8M
Giroux +0.3M
Most interesting ones to me are MacEwan and Ristolainen showing up so far in the red. Both of been OK to me. In Ristolainen's case it makes sense that he's significantly overpaid to be OK, but I was surprised to see MacEwan providing the least amount of value on the team (12 fwd, 6 d, 2 g). Obviously energy plays don't really show up in the stat line, but it's surprising that his energy plays wouldn't bring a better impact on any of the stats in the equation.
Couturier (8.7M value) and Giroux (8.6M value) provide the highest value on the team. Ellis (8.5M) is technically next, but that's all projection off the last two years and a solid 4 game stint. TK (6.3M) is 4th.
The terrible part is we own him and that contract until after the 2025-26 season. Ughhhhh!!

Who is playing their ass off = MacEwenWho should represent the Flyers at the 2022 NHL All-Star Game in Las Vegas?
Claude Giroux may add another All-Star nod to his list thanks to his strong season so far.

Its incredible how game after game after game we cant just cover Pasternak and let anyone else try to beat us.
We would have to have competent management in order for this to happen.The All-Nobody Team: 6 NHLers quickly becoming somebodies
Maybe it's the byproduct of expanding to 32 teams. Maybe it's the opportunity provided by COVID-19-related absences. Maybe it's just the way the NHL functions with the salary cap stuck at $81.5 million.Whatever the rationale, plenty of obscure players have assumed key roles through three months...
Think there will ever be a day a flyer shows up on one of these lists ?
