I’m looking at this while on a conference call so could be incorrectly interpreting, but seems like he is very good against tough shots (high danger) but not as great against easier shots (unblocked low and medium danger). 
 

Also, as a stats and analyst guy, this tool is really awesome. 

yeah I haven't dug in too deep but it looks that way to me too. He's not bad against the easier low and medium danger chances, but he does about what is expected. He's way better than expected against the high danger chances, in fact he's significantly better against high danger chances than any other goalie in the league and it's not even remotely close. That's why I think he will still improve a ton as he settles in and gets more comfortable playing in North America and just settling into the league -- you'll see those improvements in the low/medium danger chances save%.

Gotta agree with @t96 here...

To me, the fact that Kucci excels at the higher danger stuff, but not as much at the easier ones, tells me that he is still thinking too much. Once he settles into the NHL game and culture, we should see those numbers improve.

I would tend to agree. Generally it’s much easier for a guy to figure out how to stop the easier shots than to figure out how to stop the harder shots. Obviously he’s doing something right. In a lot of cases (not saying for Koochie) it’s a matter of staying focused all the time which is pretty normal for young guys to have to overcome early on.

Something else that can cause a goalie to struggle more with low/medium danger chances is if he doesn't see many of them and has long stretches of play where he gets cold because he's not seeing consistent action. This Canes team under Rod has been particularly susceptible to that with the way we play. Not many shots against and the ones our goalies do see tend to be more medium/high danger than low danger. Not sure if it was last game or the game before but I think we had a stretch of like 15+ minutes without allowing a single shot on Pyotr. It's tougher for a goalie to be ready for the next few shots after a stretch like that, regardless of whether they're low, med or high danger.

 

There are many positive about our system we run but I actually think this can be a bit of a negative. It would be fine if we were converting more of our opportunities but we have too many games with 30-40+ shots and like 2-3 goals when we should have 4-5. I think some of that recently has been many guys have just been snake bitten and we're not getting puck luck, but also we have a lot of passers/playmakers on the team and not as many guys with aggressive scorer mindsets. Svech and Aho have that as we've seen and Necas is doing better playing with confidence this year but the other guys not really.  Patches getting healthy should help that too, but I think to bring this team over the top we really do need 1 more elite goal scorer. They're hard as hell to find/acquire but we do have a ton of assets we could use. I wouldn't be in a rush to go all in on one this year but if we come up short again in the playoffs even with Patches we may need to think about it next offseason. Pastrnak if he hits free agency could be a great target.

      Some Thoughts on Legette based upon an ex-scout's ranking him WR1 in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      No, he has a long way to go to be that--I think he is probably referring to his ceiling--I think Legette has more room to grow from where he is that those more polished WRs.  When you look at his potential, it presents an argument that is not so one sided.  Of those three, only Odunze had a higher RAS score 9.92.  XL had a 9.90.  Malik Nabors had a 9.67.  Harrison Jr.  did not have one.  I am not sure that Legette has not overcome more obstacles to be where he is, and if you consider his adversity, his story might be more incredible, even though he is only a second tier rookie right nowm with Mitchell, Thomas, Pearsall, and maybe McConkey.  I am going from memory-but you have to think of things as a kid-when he was 16, his mother died of breast cancer.  When he entered S Carolina, his father died.  They had some issues and QB problems and the OL was terrible in Columbia---the others you mentioned?  None of that family drama, and they played at Washington, Ohio State, and LSU.  Huge difference.  I am proud of him as a man--when all his chips were on the table--when he had no more chances, he broke through and became a first round draft pick.  A school with a losing record, mediocre QB, and bad OL.  Mentally, he was struggling through the losses of both parents.  Amazing story.  Is he as good as those three who played at top universities?  Not yet.
