I was looking at Derek Ryan and Brock McGinn's numbers. I'm wondering what it is about McGinn that everyone loves, but with Ryan, everybody hates. Ryan's deployment was only slightly easier than McGinn's this season, but he was pretty much better in almost every metric except hits and GVAs and maybe a bit "luckier" in terms of OISH%. Is it just because McGinn plays a more physical game (which has value)?
I'm not advocating that Ryan be brought back, as I'd like the Canes to improve on the center position over him, but what makes us think McGinn will be anything more than a 4th liner?

This is a perfect example for the eye test vs fancy stats debate.
