I mean he's literally their best d-man in terms of offensive and defensive expected goals. He is also doing fine with counting stats at ES. He's been terrible on the PP, was terrible tonight and has had some weak plays here and there. Overall though, he's playing very well whether people want to admit it or not. If anything, we should be more concerned about Dahlin's lack of impact or that Samuelsson might not be as good as we thought.
How am I using them incorrectly? If you don't buy the advanced stats that's fine, but to say Power has been terrible and should be in the AHL is an embarrassing take.
Those are not Individual player stats. They are ON ICE player stats.
Individual player stats -> tallies anything that can be directly attributed to a player like goals, points, shots, hits, takeaways, etc.
On Ice player stats -> Measures team performance when that player is on the ice. These stats account for everything that happens when that player is on the ice, whether they had a hand in it or not. Its not a measure of player’s individual performance. Nor can it tell us how much credit or blame that player deserves for number.
You’re trying to argue Power is our best dman based on stats (On Ice) that can’t actually tell us that. Because they’re not a measure of his individual play as a dman.
When a bunch of posters argue Power has been bad defensively. His On ice stats don’t really refute that. A player can struggle defensively while having positive xGF/xGF. Because, again, they’re not a measure of his individual play as a dman.
