I have been working over the last day with a simple new stat (formula wise) that may not be perfect, but it's a good stat to show how important a player is to their team.
OPR is a statistic Inspired by Baseball's Slugging%(SLG), On-Base % (OBP), and the stat that mixes the former two together (OPS). However it is very simple and very different from it and it's formula is one I made myself.
OPS's Formula is the following: Total Points x (1 + Team Points Percentage) / Team GF x (Number that depends on the teams success.*)
*Note: 1.05 if they missed the playoffs, 1.1 if they made the playoffs, 1.15 if they won their conference or the Presidents.
For Example: Tyler Seguin had 80 Points in 2018-19 Regular Season. His team had a .567 Pts% (1.567), made the playoffs as a WC (1.1), but only had 209 GF. Combining the stats, in the order shown in the formula, would give him a .660 OPS
The stat can show us who has produced the best share of scoring for their team while keeping the best players on the best teams near the top of the list.
For reference, here is the top 5 player's (That I have covered so far.) OPR during the 2018-19 Regular Season:
1. Nikita Kucherov .821
2. Connor McDavid .788
3. Leon Draisaitl .713
4. Brad Marchand .707
T5. Nathan MacKinnon .660
T5. Tyler Seguin .660
Honorable Mentions: Crosby .654, Kane .654, Gaudreau .651.
The highest OPR I have discovered so far is Wayne Gretzky's 1986 Season, when he got a 1.012, the only 1.000+ I have found thus far. (Mario Lemieux 199 in 1989 season ended up being a .974. If Pittsburgh was #1 in their Conference that year, like Edmonton was in 1986, he would have achieved a 1.020. Just another Gretzky record that could have been broken by Mario Lemieux.)
What do you think of this statistic?
