Today I’ll be looking at the Goals Above Replacement for the Philadelphia Flyers forwards. The only criteria used for making the chart you’ll see below was that the player had to have accrued at least 300 minutes of ice time last season (2014/15).
The fine folks over at War-On-Ice have had an ongoing series of blog posts outlining their relatively new Goals Above Replacement metric, or GAR.
This metric incorporates a broad range of factors such as penalty differentials, face-offs, shot differential and scoring to try to evaluate a player’s ability across all spectrums of the game.
