EV Offense & Defense is based on driving & preventing scoring opportunities. So in Laine’s case neither good at producing & preventing scoring chances & such by volume. PP/PK are similar. Finishing is based off expected goals. Laine usually scores more goals than his expected goals which suggest. An average player doesn’t come close to scoring that with that type of chances & shot quality. So that’s why his finishing is so high. G/60 & A1/60 are essentially efficiency rates. It essentially takes your totals in those categories with on ice time to weigh how much bang your essentially getting for on ice investment with the ice time. Penalties is drawn & taken weighing system. So Laine takes more than he draws. Competition is who you often go against & teammates is who you play with. So both being so high means Laine generally goes up against other teams best players but his linemates on the flip are often the best on his team.
It’s ultimately broken down into percentiles. So if you’re 90%+ you’re amongst a small group of players in that category. So like for Laine he’s 95% in finishing. That means only like 5% of the league is better than him at that. These numbers are an average of his last three years. So you’re getting a snap shot of what he’s done in a larger sample. It will isolate an outlier year for good or bad. The 63% projected WAR is essentially an average projection based of what you should reasonably expect give or take. That’s an above average player.
In Laine’s case you’re essentially paying for his goal scoring ability as most other impacts of his game on ice are average or worse.
