Data scientist.

His rankings.

Some really good in-depth analysis on all aspects of play effectiveness.

these are not my rankings at all, but it's interesting to see an all around analysis of a players game... instead of just scoring races and stuff.

Their PPG was very similar. Had Malkin not got injured, he would’ve been a hart nominee

I'm a big proponent of data analytics in sports. This is almost entirely useless without any write-up, methodology or anything. Top 20C based on what? *Effectiveness* means nothing, and "data scientist" or "analytics" as blanket statements are equally useless.

i feel like a combination of being overshadowed by Sid and being injury prone has completely made Malkin like, so underrated

the guy was third in points/60 this year, 5th in primary assists/60 and 2nd in secondary assists/60.

like, he's legit on pace to be a top 10 player every year and yet I personally never ever ever even hear him being discussed

even over the last 4 years, 7th in goals/60, sixth in primary assists/60, 4th in secondary assists/60, SECOND IN points/60

problem is, he's only played in at least 70 games once since 2011-2012

poor malkin :'(

Did your data scientist guy notice that Pettersson actually played LW all season? Apparently not...

Point isn't top-10 when you remove Kucherov's influence.
