Jhonas Enroth is the latest guy to be of Buffalo.The , hours after shipping Tyler Myers and Drew Stafford out of town in a deal to . Its a bit of a turnaround for a guy who a year ago may have been thought of as the long-term Curtis Granderson Jersey heir to Ryan Miller, but the Sabres are in tank/a set acquisition mode. Everything must go to prepare for the arrival of ConnorMcDavid/Jack Eichel!MORE: | Enroth's arrival in Dallas is a signal to many that this is a move to counter Kari Lehtonens apparent fall from grace. A goalie who over his careerhas owned some very good even-strength save numbers, Lehtonens numbers have gone into the tank this season. He owns a .906 overall savepercentage, 33rd in the league, and his .915 even-strength number Cameron Maybin Jersey is well below average.Enroths numbers arent any better he has a .903 overall save percentage and a .917 even-strength save percentagebut there is some temptation to grade the former second-round pick on a curve. Given how terrible the Sabres are this year, thats not an unreasonable a sumption.However, their save charts make for an interesting comparison. First Lehtonen, courtesy of :If that makes you do a double take, youre not alone. I paused for a bit when I read that chart. How is Lehtonen having a poor year on even-strength save percentage yet isnt below average anywhere, and is actually quite good in some places?The answer is because not all shots are created equal.Dallas has given up a fairly high number of shots in close this season, where shooting percentage is the highest. For example, look at the Wild a team that had ma sive goalie i sues that suddenly has caught fire when they found a guy in Devan Caleb Smith Jersey Dubnyk who could produce at a league average rate:And then look at the Stars:Note that in this case red stands for above league average and blue means below. That means on the left chart, which is shots taken, red is good. On the right chart, shots against, which were focusing on, red is bad.Basically, the Wild are above average at shotprevention everywhere. Meanwhile, the Stars are the opposite below average everywhere, and especially bad at allowing shots in close. Jonathan Villar Jersey Of course, theyve got nothing on the Sabres:'Cause the Sabres are beyond awful, you see.Which in some respects bodes well for Enroth hes going to see far le s of every type of shot in Dallas, which can only help.On the other hand, it doesnt nece sarily get to the heart of the Stars problem. Enroth has been roughly as good in close as Lehtonen. And hes been worse from Andre Dawson Jersey further out:Unle s Enroth has better a rebound control than Lehtonen, this move doesnt seem to solve the fact Dallas doesnt do a good job around the crease.That said, former backup Anders Lindback is terrible. Observe: Every game matters, so not having to play Lindback, or run Lehtonen out there every game, wearing him down, makes the move worthwhile.But is Enroth an actual upgrade over Lehtonen? That answer appears to be a no.
