Ehlers vs DeBrincat vs Raymond: 2021 - 2024
3. Raymond
His sophomore season was poor, leaving him 3rd on nearly every stat.
2. DeBrincat
DeBrincat had the best volume stats, around 50 more points than Ehlers in around 60 more games.
He even had the best P%, a .857 compared to Ehlers .815.
Debrincat had the best total point share (PS), which is statheads comprehensive stat, similar to WAR. Take that as you will.
DeBrincat scores more goals total and gets more chances, average around 1.1 xG/60 compared to Ehlers average 1.0 xG/60
1. Ehlers
Ehlers had the best efficiency stats despite having 0 fully healthy seasons. P/60 is 2.96 compared to Cats 2.67. This means if Ehlers played the same minutes as DeBrincat at his scoring rate, His P% would be .949, significantly higher.
Ehlers is way better defensively, even accounting for DeBrincat playing on terrible defensive teams. His on ice Goal% is around 62%, DeBrincats is around 57%. Ehlers has more Total Defensive PS than DeBrincat despite playing 50 less games.
PS/game: 0.93 : 0.84 Ehlers
PS/60: 0.262 : 0.336 Ehlers
Every Efficiency stat vastly favours Nik Ehlers. I can elaborate further if necessary.
Even when Isolating this season, even though Raymond had the best totals, Ehlers had far better efficiency stats.
The Jets coaching staff has cost Ehlers potentially around 10 million dollars on his next contract due to their piss poor utilization of him, I hope they right that wrong next season.
