<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Uhhh... what? It's like you did not read anything I said. Put away the odd strawmen and give it another go.

- Analytics are not individual stats.
- Spending less time in your own zone is going to boost your analytics.
- Having forwards who keep the puck down at the other end a lot allows one to spend less time in the D zone.

Nobody said anything about Selkes or Makar or whatever. And no amount of analytics is going to make Bouchard the current best of those six Dmen or analytics into anything more than auxiliary context providers. Obviously.</div></div>
On-ice stats are not individual, but they are still the product of the players on the ice. So you saying that Bouchard's sparkling defensive metrics are just because he plays with McDavid, and then turning around and denying that McDavid should get credit is a logical fallacy.

The fact is that the Oilers are the best team in the league when Bouchard is on the ice. Sure he doesn't get all the credit, but he's certainly part of it. Here's how you can know that: by looking at his results with and without McDavid.

CF%
Together: 62.36
w/o McDavid: 56.96
w/o Bouchard: 55.15
w/o either: 51.44

SF%
Together: 62.08
w/o McDavid: 57.91
w/o Bouchard: 55.39
w/o either: 50.51

xGF%
Together: 65.03
w/o McDavid: 57.00
w/o Bouchard: 57.57
w/o either: 52.51

SCF%
Together: 64.23
w/o McDavid: 58.03
w/o Bouchard: 56.84
w/o either: 52.01

HDCF%
Together: 67.16
w/o McDavid: 58.79
w/o Bouchard: 63.35
w/o either: 54.60

Bouchard is full value for his on-ice results, with or without McDavid.

Let's do the same for Makar, shall we?

CF%
Together: 55.95
w/o MacKinnon: 46.64
w/o Makar: 56.98
w/o either: 51.07

SF%
Together: 55.23
w/o MacKinnon: 48.01
w/o Makar: 57.51
w/o either: 51.04

xGF%
Together: 56.10
w/o MacKinnon: 48.10
w/o Makar: 58.61
w/o either: 49.38

SCF%
Together: 58.36
w/o MacKinnon: 48.54
w/o Makar: 61.16
w/o either: 51.61

HDCF%
Together: 57.70
w/o MacKinnon: 47.79
w/o Makar: 61.06
w/o either: 51.26

Wow, we can see who is driving the bus in Colorado, and it's certainly not Makar. He can't even break even w/o MacKinnon, and yet he's considered a lock to be a Norris finalist.
