Mostly. These say that Player 1 (Stajan) plays more minutes (/60), more in his own end (offensive starts), and more against harder opponents (Corsi QoC). Compared to his team, he does better (Relative to team). The one standout is that Player 2 (Richards) has a higher raw Corsi value, meaning that his time out has a more dominant performance in shots than Player 1. However, this is can be combined with the Relative Corsi to point out that Player 2 also plays on an amazing team if, when he's at 13 on-ice Corsi, it's still below the team's average.
The conclusion I draw is that Player 1 is doing well on a poor team, while Player 2 may be getting it done, but is also on a strong team, which may mask his weaknesses.
