Key Metrics:
NHLeS: Age, league and position adjusted score of production. 20+ is typical 1st round value, but context is important.
INV%: Player points per game divided by team goals per game.
G%: Same as INV%, but goals-only.
IPP: Percentage of goals scored on the ice the player gets a point on.
P1: Any time you see P1, it represents primary points (a goal or primary assist).
ES: Any time you see ES, it represents even strength.
Cat%: The percentage increase or decrease in even strength goals for per 60 minutes of ice time relative to their team. A player on the ice for 4 GF/60 at even strength, on a team that scores 2 without him on the ice has an Off.Cat% of +100%. Likewise, if the player were on the ice for 1 GA/60, and the team allowed 2 without him on the ice, his Def.Cat% would also be +100%.

  1. Columbus is one of those organizations that have earned the benefit of the doubt as far as scouting is concerned. As I said in the draft, knowing how they often nail "reaches" even in the mid-rounds, I'm sure that we'll see Chinakhov in a few years helping them in their next big playoff push, just like Foudy this year and Texier before him.

  2. Ummm, I don’t think we watched the same kid, from the highlights I’ve seen, Chinakhov has an NHL ready shot, and has a pretty dang good playmaking ability, not quite NHL ready, but it can get there. I can’t speak for his defensive abilities, but on a team that is in no need of defense, that’s not necessarily needed. With his 13 points in 20 games Chinakhov looks to be on pace to become a very good NHL player, along with his fellow countryman Krill Marchenko. Plus his coach, Bob Hartley, the same one that coached the Avs to the 2001 Stanley Cup, compared him to Joe Sakic. That’s pretty high praise, plus he’s been the KHL rookie of the month for both months they’ve been playing. Also your claim that Chinakhov will still be in Russia while others are in the NHL has no basis in reality, as his KHL contract is up after this season, and he has been on record saying he’s 50/50 on staying, or coming over, and doesn’t want to think about it until after the season.
