MacKenzie Entwistle: our analysis
2023-24 season: 67 GP, 5 G, 6 A, 11 PTS, -29 +/-, 11:23 TOI. WAR -0.8 (581st of 608) · PAL 1, very poor.
In 2023-24, MacKenzie Entwistle, 27, posts a PAL Rating of 1 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.8 ranks 581st among 608 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
On the other hand, possession (2, among the weakest in the league) and offense (3, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), no component is positive; the costliest: EV offense (-3.0).
A marked decline: his PAL was 13 in 2022-23, against 1 now; his WAR went from -0.6 to -0.8.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 5 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
