Quoting: Julius_Freezer
Forgot the fact that Stone was and still is a Selke contender along with providing valuable leadership, Stone is better, advanced stats don't tell you everything.
Stone xgoals against per 60 percentile year over year against forwards with 500+ min
2023: 44th% (7th on VGK)
2022: 87th% (4th on VGK)
2021: 48th% (9th on VGK) (Selke Nomine based on team)
2020: 85th% (1st on VGK) (Selke Nomine based on merit)
2019: 26th% (11th on VGK)
2018: 34th% (11th on VGK) (Year he was traded)
2017: 20th% (8th on Sens)
2016: 93rd% (1st on Sens)
2015: 25th% (7th on Sens)
2014: 46th% (12th on Sens)
Bases on these numbers, he has his years of being really good but also has years of being just ok and some years of being fairly bad on defense. I have the feeling he is getting nominations based on name and not merit.
But, I will ask, do you have stats to refute mine?
Also, is Guentzel not a leader?
Edit: Also (total side note), great username!
