Here you go. 5 vs 5 this year. (Rankings are with all defensemen who have played at least 200 minutes this year.)
5 vs 5 | Bouchard | Dobson |
G | 4 | 4 |
A | 11 | 13 |
Pts | 15 | 17 |
CF% | 62.10 (2nd) | 47.25 (157th) |
CA/60 | 44.26 (4th) | 69.32 (203rd) |
xGF% | 64.36 (1st) | 48.07 (144th) |
xGA/60 | 2.09 (11th) | 3.01 (195th) |
SCF% | 62.79 (2nd) | 46.49 (166th) |
SCA/60 | 21.98 (9th) | 33.44 (206th) |
HDCF% | 64.0 (2nd) | 46.77 (163rd) |
HDCA/60 | 8.83 (15th) | 14.04 (202nd) |
Note that Bouchard has played 2 fewer games. The pp specialist who can't play defense on a team that also can't play defense seems to have done reasonably well in this comparison.
And in anticipation of the yah but McDavid posts:
5 vs 5 | With McDavid | Without McDavid | McDavid without Bouchard |
CF% | 62.5 | 61.54 | 56.87 |
xGF% | 64.09 | 64.77 | 58.03 |
SCF% | 62.67 | 63 | 57.44 |
HDCF% | 65.1 | 62.38 | 60.71 |
TOI vs elites: Bouchard 33.8% Dobson 42.1%
To be fair this last stat certainly favours Dobson. It adds context to the numbers above for sure. But vs elites here are their numbers:
Bouchard CF% 61.60
Dobson 44.30%
