Players who look good stats-wise but are bad?

[Mathew Barzal]

Baertschi would be nothing without Horvat.

 

[JarvisFunk]

Lee Stempniak manages to put up points where ever he goes, but I am never super impressed by his play.

And he cant seem to stick on with any team. 7 in the last 4 years, 10 different teams in his 12 year career, and has never been able to stick with a team longer than 3 years.

PA Parenteau strikes me as the exact same mould.

Kessel. Particularly the version the Leafs got.

James Reimer usually had decent stats, but anyone who has watched him extensively knows he's not a #1.

Kessel? He carried the Leafs offense for years. He was exactly what his stats showed.

Also everyone knows Reimer isn't a true #1 however while in Toronto he was a huge factor in the Leafs even making the playoffs and he was often left hanging. He really didn't have much to work with.

Brandon Sutter everyone

No, his stats are **** too.

 

[Kryten]

No, his stats are **** too.

Advanced stats are. Maybe another dumb GM will trade for him in need of an "elite" 3rd line C without looking at his icetime, teammates, or playmaking

 

[bob27]

Dennis Wideman.

 

[Jaromir Blogger]

I don't know what his advanced stats have been like recently, but for quite a while, Brendan Smith could have been a poster child for this phenomenon.

 

[Devils090]

Taylor Hall

Not even close

 

[ilyakovy17]

Benoit Pouliot

 

[Tonka]

Insert player name that just had a bad playoff.

Conor McDavid

 

[JarvisFunk]

Benoit Pouliot

He looks good stat wise? Huh go figure.

Pretty ironic considering his biggest strength is his penalty killing.

 

[KevEggs]

definitely big buff he scores a decent amount but is probably the 4th best defenseman on the Jets after Trouba, Morrissey, and Myers

 

[Machinehead]

Kevin Hayes somehow put up 51 points but he's a ****ing abortion.

 

[clydesdale line]

Heh, change Buff to Seabrook and that's how Hawks fans feel as well.

 

[SirPaste]

Brad Boyes once scored over 40 goals, I know it wasn't very recent but it's what immediately came to mind

 

[Alluckks]

Nick Holden tallied it up early in the season and then promptly returned to being himself later

 

[Leafs87]

Gardiner. And not because of your post but because every time I watch him, he seems to have trouble keeping up with the play.

He may have his flaws but this certainly the furthest away from one of them

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Kessel. Particularly the version the Leafs got.

James Reimer usually had decent stats, but anyone who has watched him extensively knows he's not a #1.

Kessel is bad? Lol..

 

[Martinez]

Must be nice getting points. Red wings players don't get get those

 

[Machinehead]

Must be nice getting points. Red wings players don't get get those

Please take Kevin Hayes

 

[The Great Weal]

Beaulieu

 

[fmrdh]

Drew Stafford (if he isn't producing, he is a useless, defensive liability)

Dennis Wideman

 

[aonb]

Troy Brouwer AINEC

Somehow he put 13,18,21 and 25 goals last 4 seasons and about ~40 points (the only exception is 16/17) while being one of the worst wingers in my eyes. Anchor in 5 on 5, big but can't throw a hit, only team effort helps him score and decent shot.

 

[schnapshot]

I don't know what his advanced stats have been like recently, but for quite a while, Brendan Smith could have been a poster child for this phenomenon.

His career high in points us 19, how can he be overrated offensively? Unless you're talking about his final season at Wisconsin. Or his advanced stats but I was talking more about Hockeydb stats for this thread.

 

[Boud]

Mika Zibanejad used to be that guy in Ottawa. Put up a pile of points in a couple games and then go missing for a 5-6 game stretch. He seems to have been more consistent this season.

Bobby Ryan also, he'd always finish the season with 50 points and you'd wonder how he got that many. Another very streaky player.
