Players that pass the analytics test but not the eye test

[belfour30]

The Dylan Strome thread had me thinking about players who analytics say are good but most fans of the team think is awful. When Strome was with the Hawks, most of us thought this.
Also reminded me of David Rundblad on the Hawks.

So fans of every team, Do you have a player like this?

Cody Franson was out of the league despite having strong underlying stats iirc.

Wasn't Martin Marincin also a guy with strong analytics? Or am I misremembering?

I don't know that I'd call Alex Killorn's metrics "good" but the eye test is a lot more dire. He has been, pound for pound, the worst veteran on the Ducks and the most likely player to singlehandedly kill the team's offensive flow and/or momentum.

Zach Aston-Reese when he was on the Penguins was a poster boy for this.
