Pavel Dorofeyev stands out as a highly impactful player for his salary. His 17 points in 28 games not only exceeds those of several forwards of similar age and salary but also compares favorably against higher-paid forwards. This analysis illustrates that Dorofeyev's contributions on the ice are significant, making him a valuable asset for his team at a fraction of the cost compared to other players.
Three main takeaways from the table:
- Most Cost-Effective: Dorofeyev stands out as the most cost-effective player in this table, with a cost-per-point value of $0.108M. This means he puts up a lot of points for not a lot of money.
- Underperformers Relative to Salary: Players like Ryan Poehling, Kevin Stenlund, and Klim Kostin have higher costs per point, indicating less offensive output relative to their salaries.
- Higher-Paid Forwards: Among higher-paid forwards, Chris Kreider and Roope Hintz have the highest cost per point, suggesting they are less efficient in terms of scoring relative to their salary.
This comparison reinforces the argument that salary does not always equate to impact on the ice. While there are certainly many higher-paid forwards who do extremely well in the league, there are many lower-paid players who go unnoticed. We must recognize and celebrate players like Pavel Dorofeyev, who consistently prove that talent, work ethic, and impact on the game can transcend salary figures. Watching him develop as a player has been incredible, and his efforts every game continue to be vital to the success of the Golden Knights.
