Ok so give us weber without chiarot
Sure thing. So you already saw from the table that:
Weber - Edmundson: 188 min; 52.8% Corsi
Weber - Chiarot: 477 min; 52.3% Corsi
So, pretty similar.
In much smaller sample sizes, you have:
Weber - Romanov: 47 min; 55.6% Corsi
Weber - Kulak: 40 min; 61.4% Corsi
Weber - Petry: 39 min; 58.2% Corsi
So how much weight do you place on the roughly 2 games worth of ice time Weber has played with Kulak, Petry, or Romanov in comparison to the majority of the season he played with Chiarot/Edmundson?
Well, even if you do weight it very highly, why not look at how Chiarot does away from Weber while we're at it?
Chiarot - Romanov: 63 min; 58% Corsi
Chiarot - Kulak: 95 min; 48.1% Corsi
Chiarot - Petry: 23 min; 62.3% Corsi
So Romanov and Petry actually did better when paired with Chiarot than they did with Weber! Of course, its also clear that the Kulak-Chiarot pairing struggled in comparison to Kulak-Weber.
Again, this is all in small samples, so you be the judge of what conclusions can be reached. To me it looks an awful lot like when Chiarot/Weber are played with lesser players in small samples, their Corsi goes up due to the likelihood they are playing sheltered minutes in more offensive situations. Whereas when they play together, it is as a shutdown pairing vs top opposition.
