Another banger, man. Fun seeing where the eye test and stats intersect from a target player perspective. Just curious, did Maverik Bourque pop up anywhere in your data? He's another young player I've had my eye on, but I haven't tracked too much of his statistical performance this season.
Bourque doesn't look great on A3Z. Pretty much no offense but good Total Shot Contributions (I mostly only use Primary Shot Contributions) and really really solid defensive zone stuff like retrievals and exits. Might just be how he's used where he's displaying his skill to get the puck out and transition started but not necessarily getting the puck back, we sort of saw this thing with KJ last year too.
RAPM and other stats say "good defensively" but it feels more like he plays low event minutes compared to the rest of Dallas' roster. I would say that's also like KJ last year. So idk, he looked really interesting when he played us and I like his righty cerebral play connecting style. He's PK'ed a bit too so maybe he's just doing what the coach asks and is pretty good at it.
According to David Castillo he is an "untouchable" for Dallas given Jim Nill's future oriented GMing style. Maybe something shakes loose for them though..
