In what’s quickly becoming a rite of summer at PenguinPoop, I decided to post another Goin’ to WAR with Our Penguins article. Players are organized into three main groups…Forwards, Defense and Prospects. There’s a special section just for Tristan Jarry.
Before we get to the numbers, a quickie review of WAR, short for Wins Above Replacement. In the simplest of terms, WAR measures a player’s contributions (or wins) for his team, while at the same time providing a method of comparing a player to his peers based on his role.
You’ll notice in a number of cases a player’s role doesn’t seem to line up with the way he’s actually used.
