Colorado Avalanche: What Sending Tyson Jost to the AHL Means
Tyson Jost Statistics
Tyson Jost has 38 points (19 goals, 19 assists) in 114 NHL games with the Colorado Avalanche. This season, he has 15 points (6 goals, 9 assists) in 43 games.
For comparison purposes, roommate and fellow sophomore Alexander Kerfoot has 24 points (7 goals, 17 assists) in 43 games. Sometime linemate Colin Wilson has 14 points (8 goals, 6 assists) in 38 games. In case you’re wondering, sometime linemate Sven Andrighetto has 6 points (3 goals, 3 assists) in 29 games. Those totals amount to the following point-per-game production:
- Jost: .34
- Kerfoot: .55
- Wilson: .36
- Andrighetto: .20
As you can see, Jost is middling — and that’s without considering the Gabriel Bourques of the team. However, I will admit Jost’s points production isn’t good enough — but then, no one who’s not on the top line or named Tyson Barrie has been giving adequate offensive production.
However, I will, indeed, concede that Jost hasn’t been living up to top-10 draft potential.
When you start looking at his fancy stats… things get a little murkier. Concerning Offensive Points Share, which is “an estimate of the number of points contributed by a player due to his offense,” Jost is #9 on the team with 0.5. For Defensive Points Share (defense-oriented points contributions), Jost falls to #14 on the team with 0.3. Straight Points Shares drops him to #17 with 0.8.
Not great, but still not the worst on the team.
CorsiFor, Tyson Jost drops. He’s at 47.3%. His Relative Corsi is at -4.5.
Not good, but still not the worst on the team.
However, many Avs fans — and perhaps the front offices themselves — use those statistics as rationale for demoting him to the AHL.
