If you don't believe in possession stats they also have by far the best counting stats this season too.

That's not the point, it's just that statistics don't always reflect what's actually happening on the ice and what doesn't pass the eye test. I've already talked about this here before, why Dahlin and Joki have good metrics, but they don't have chemistry and they don't fit together.
So for years they've had good raw numbers GF/GA AND good possession stats, but none of that matches your eye test?
Maybe both sets of stats are wrong.

How many points did Dahlin score with Joki and how many with Samuelsson? Also how effective was Dahlin on RD compared to how he plays on LD, do you have that stat?

We have goals scored while those pairings were on the ice yes.
In 2023-2024
Dahlin - Jokiharju 14 goals for // 12 goals against
Dahiln - Samuelsson 12 goals for // 21 goals against
Generally speaking he plays much higher event hockey as a RD than as a LD. Bryam-Dahlin were on the ice for a combined 8 goals/60 minutes last year. That's an insane bonkers pond hockey rate.

I'm weird, because the takeaway I got from this chart is:
Benson gets an initial to distinguish himself from all the other Bensons.
Samuelsson gets his full first name to distinguish himself from all the other M. Samuelssons.
Thompson just gets called Tage for some reason.

Unpopular opinion: The roster is fine.
Sure, they have a sputtering 2nd line, currently mediocre goaltending from their young tandem and a 1D that isn't fully healthy.
But that's par for the course over an 82 game season.
They also play good 5v5 hockey and are one point removed from a playoff spot.
We also know what the real problem is: Special teams.

This checks out. I call everyone by their last name, but I say Tage.

Sure but it's also unlikely Cozens continues to shoot 0%. We have some regression in both directions for a bunch of players and it will likely even out. Let's pretend Cozens and McLeod both go to around 10%. That's 3.7 goals from them combined instead of just 4 from McLeod himself. Sure we are getting lucky from Mcleod but we are also getting unlucky with some other players.

Maybe not. But he was on pace for 16 goals two seasons ago. He’s at roughly the same age a few other players have taken another step in their game.
He certainly won’t maintain his current scoring pace or shooting %. But he doesn’t need to be near either to put up 20 goals.
he's passing the eye test for me regardless. the goals have just been a bonus.

My new forward line:
Kulich at center between Cozens and NAK.
Sit Quinn
What line is that?
For a conditioning he can
Peterka lost waiver exemption, Quinn still has it. So he can get sent down.
