Further to my point in the GBU that playing Gorges on the 3rd pairing is not going to turn things around for him. Dude is an anchor on everyone - he makes everyone he plays with worse. And don't even tell me he's passing the eye test, either. (Also, note Risto when away from Gorges.)
I think that data should be taken with a huge grain of salt. It's not very clear what data is being used to generate those wowy numbers. hockeyviz doesn't seem to be very transparent in that regard, and I kept running into pay walls just to access things like game data.
Looking at hockeyanalysis or puckalytics (same thing), and looking at 5v5 data, of Gorges 97:31 TOI, he spent:
87:31 with Risto
4:43 with Franson
2:45 with kulikov
2:37 with bogosian
1:05 with McCabe
That pretty much tells you right there that wowy's are not going to be very meaningful.
The first chart in particular I'm struggling to find exactly what the relationship between "player without 4" and "4 without player" is supposed to be, especially without the "player with 4" data point to compare to. Like, it doesn't at all say that gorges makes players worse, because it doesn't even have the data of the players with gorges. It's super misleading. Its not blue boxes are "player with gorges" and red boxes are "player without gorges". All it is basically showing is that Gorges has worse shots for and shots against than everyone else, but that is almost entirely based on gorges playing top pairing with risto, because gorges has no significant 5v5 time with anyone else. It's not directly indicative of how gorges would perform given a different role with a different partner for significant time.
And the Risto wowy gorges I can't replicate where the TOI numbers are coming from. The other site lists Gorges as 10:00 without risto at 5v5 and risto as 16:42 without gorges at 5v5. This person has 36:06 for Risto without Gorges, but isn't clear at all what situations those are. In any case, it's still silly because gorges doesn't have a significant role away from Risto to make the Gorges without Risto, and to a lesser extent, Risto without gorges, meaningful in any way.
This is not a defense of Gorges in any way. I mean, the stats for him aren't pretty right now, but this is a bad use of those stats in meaningless and misleading ways.
