Is anyone aware of any reporting done that compares offensive output of players, either in a single season or over their career, in wins versus losses? My general theory has always been that a productive player that actually contributes to the team will produce about twice as many points in wins as losses. If you see a player that has similar production in wins and losses my theory is that they are not a key contributor to the team winning.
I have found this concept to be consistent whether a player is playing on a winning or losing team. The best players typically perform at twice the clip in the wins, even if they are rarer, than losses.
My secondary theory is that players who perform higher than average in losses are really just padding their stats but they are not scoring consequential points. Think of the player that scores a goal in a 4-1 loss as an example.
Just curious what people's opinions are on my theory, and if anyone has any data that they have run on the topic.
