It's getting to the point where a naked Dave Nonis tap dancing with a top hat saying Grabovski is better than Bozak could be in right in front of you and you would just ignore it.
Bozak TOI (HR:MIN) PPTOI Points
2012 1375:28 203:32 47
2013 934:17 136:47 28
2014 1148:48 148:12 47
Grabovski TOI (MIN:SEC) PPTOI Points
2012 1302:58 155:03 51
2013 747:22 81:49 16
2014 853:54 81:37 34
-----------------
So in 2012, Grabovski gets less ice time, less PP time and lower quality line mates yet still outproduces star-complementary player Bozak. So what does that mean? Grabovski carries his line instead of being carried.
2013, Carlyle forces Grabovski into an unfamiliar role which doesn't suit the player whatsoever. Less PP time, and checkers for linemates.
2014, Grabovski gets a chance to play more of a top 6 role, doesn't have as much of an impact as he's done in the past but still scores at a similar point per minute pace compared to Bozak who is playing with a 40 goal and 30 goal scorer, receives top minutes on the PP.
This isn't even advanced stats. It's looking at the bigger picture. If you're just going to point and say Bozak points>Grabovski points therefore Bozak>Grabovski, then somebody like Kunitz is clearly better than Tavaras or Iginla since last year. He's an Olympian after all.
