this would be an excellent point if it was actually accurate (spoiler: it's not)The guy is a perennial 40% in corsi/expected goals. Absolute liability 5v5. Not a GM in the league would say he’s better then Suzuki right now.
patrik laine was the jackets best forward at 5v5 in 22-23 in:
- CF% (49.9% – next highest was 47.5%)
- GF% (52.2% – the only CBJ player over 47% that year)
- SCF% (48.1%)
he's actually been really good for columbus when healthy – the perception is just because he's more of a playmaker now and the team's power play has been broken for most of the last decade.
