“I think in the big picture, what we did today was tidied up the loose ends and make us a stronger team. … We’ve signed some free agents that are going to come in and push with our core. It is going to probably be the most competitive team we’ve had so far, and it will be the most competitive camp we’ve ever had here.”– general manager Bill Armstrong<\/p>\n
EDGE stat to watch<\/p>\n
The Mammoth ranked ninth in 20-plus mile per hour speed bursts (1,802) as a team last season, led by three forwards who each ranked in the 85th percentile or higher at their position: Cooley (214; 96th percentile), Guenther (182; 93rd percentile) and Barrett Hayton<\/a> (155; 86th percentile). The addition of Peterka (156 speed bursts; 86th percentile) will bring even more speed to their forward group<\/a>. — Troy Perlowitz<\/p>\n Fantasy spin<\/p>\n Guenther set career highs in goals (27), assists (33), points (60), power-play goals (12), power-play points (29), shots on goal (204), game-winning goals (nine; tied for fifth in NHL) and average ice time (17:00) in 70 games last season. The forward, who had 18 goals and 35 points in 45 games in 2023-24, is tied for 20th in power-play goals since 2023-24 (21).
