RYAN DZINGEL - Right Winger - 27 - $3.375MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2021-2022
LAST UPDATED 7/28/19
Ryan Dzingel is another member of CBJ's 2019 free agent exodus, landing a modest deal to sign with the division rival Carolina Hurricanes. Dzingel is an interesting player. He broke out as a 25 year old in 2017-18, scoring 23 goals and potting 41 points, but his insanely high 16.9 shooting percentage made him look more like an unsustainable mirage than a legitimate contributor. The following season, though, he scored 26 goals and his shooting percentage stayed above 16%. I'm still concerned about the sustainability of his production, but the high shooting percentage isn't simply just absurd puck luck. Dzingel's best asset is his blazing speed, and because he's so fast he's simply able to get more open looks at the goalie than other shooters. Dzingel isn't an immensely skilled forward, instead he just pairs a fantastic shot with blazing speed, but overall if his shooting percentage were to dip his offensive production would crater. Dzingel's defense is an issue, also, and isolated impact metrics measure Dzingel as a pretty sizable defensive liability. He has the speed to make an impact on the forecheck but overall in his own zone he has not shown the disruptive defensive ability his speed allows him to have.
