Written about him
Sam Dickinson Was Better Against The Best Forwards He Faced Than Against The Worst Ones
PuckIQ's WoodMoney model splits even-strength ice time by the quality of the opposition. Sam Dickinson spent 23.2 percent of his against elite forwards last season, against 39.0 percent for Mario Ferraro and 35.3 for Dmitry Orlov, and San Jose outscored the opponent 15 to 11 in those 220.7 minutes. In the 385.1 minutes he played against the softest tier, San Jose was outscored 19 to 12. He is signed at $953,750 on a blue line carrying $17,500,000 of Darnell Nurse and Jacob Trouba.
Was Ferraro actually good at killing penalties? No, and you were right to ask
Was Ferraro good at killing penalties? No. He was just used the most.
If Ferraro was only average, why was the PK 28th? It was the forward kill (and I owe you a correction)
So who sank the penalty kill to 28th?
