Subban improves Corsi-for percentage of his teammates by 4.4%. What about Phaneuf ?

Seems like Subban makes his teammates better.
Anyone know how to drum up these same stats for Phaneuf ?

Subban's greatest value to the Canadiens may be his ability to drive play toward the offensive zone. The percentage of even-strength shots attempted (Corsi-for percentage) by the Canadiens last season when Subban was on the ice compared to when he wasn't was 5.1 percent higher, 10th best among NHL defensemen, according to Extraskater.com.

That shows to what extent Subban had a positive impact on his teammates. In the past two seasons, 13 Canadiens have played a minimum of 300 even-strength minutes with Subban, and the Corsi-for percentage of each of those players dropped when they were on the ice without him, according to stats.hockeyanalysis.com.

The average decline in Corsi-for percentage of those 13 players when they played without Subban was 4.4 percent, but some of Montreal's best players had drops more significant than that: David Desharnais, Max Pacioretty and Lars Eller dipped by 5 percent or more.

Subban is an important player to the Canadiens, and now he will be paid like one.

Good question..

Shouldn't this be a Maple Leafs-board post?

Somehow Subban's contract has made Phaneuf underpaid.

Probably because we need to help the OP shut up his friends who are leafs fans.
