The biggest area I think Matthews can improve this offseason is his strength. That is just this season – but essentially 99.7% of the information contained in CF% is explained by something OTHER than faceoff wins. They only account for about 0.3% of 5v5 shot differentials, which is essentially nothing. In all seriousness, the only significant flaw you can point to in his game is his faceoff ability, which I don’t value too highly since it tends to be a learned skill throughout a player’s career, but mostly because faceoffs don’t impact results nearly as much as most people think. He’s also a generational talent on the dance floor (I’m so sorry). His hands are incredible, his release is lightning quick and deadly accurate, he’s deceptively fast, and his defensive game has improved significantly throughout the course of the season. We’re running out of superlatives for Auston Matthews at this point. To help provide some context for the ratings, he’s a rough estimate of what each rating represents:
NHL 17 ALL PLAYER RATINGS SERIES
The NHL series is pretty notorious for poorly evaluating players (they’re not nearly as good as the FIFA series), so my goal here is to accurately assess every Maple Leaf in each of the five criteria. If you’re unfamiliar with the HUT ratings from NHL 17, here’s a database with each player’s attributes. Stick checking ability, positioning, and defensive awareness.Strength, balance, aggressiveness, and (yes) checking ability.I’m going to evaluate each Leafs player using the 5 attributes in Hockey Ultimate Team.
NHL 17 ALL PLAYER RATINGS HOW TO
I’ll be evaluating the Leafs’ forwards today, while tomorrow’s article will focus on defensemen.Īt first, I wasn’t sure how to how present my scouting report, but after seeing my boss tweet about his latest ventures in NHL 17’s Hockey Ultimate Team (HUT), I came up with a great idea. In this piece, we’re going to look at the qualitative aspects of hockey, which I think can be useful to explain why a player is effective (or ineffective). To do this properly, I decided that I’d need to break down my analysis into two parts: qualitative (‘the eye test’) and quantitative (‘the numbers’).
With the season coming to a close, I thought it would be fun to wrap up the year by breaking down the performance of each Leafs player this season.
