Nazim Kadri has a pretty high Powerplay G/60 too, I wonder if the Leafs gave him more ice time if Kadri would become a top 5 goal scorer in the league?
What about even strength Goals/60? Why is Laine ranked so low with that, whilst not getting the hardest line matchups as he can?
1) Advanced stats are not the be all, end all, as they are hardly accurate at predicting the final outcome of something
2) An increase in ice-time does not = a proportionate increase in points/goals whatever. No one on this board knows Laine's physical ability and what he can actually do, the best would be him, his teammates and the coaching staff. It's just as easy to say that increasing his TOI with harder line matchups will make him score less goals as he may be more tired and face harder competition, as it is to say that he would increase production if given more time.
