What possible basis could you have for this?
How do you feel about Ryan McDonagh? Because the following is an accurate statement: The Rangers scored more frequently, and got a higher percentage of chances compared to their opponents, with Stralman on the ice last year than with Ryan McDonagh - 2.4 goals for per 60 minutes for Ryan, 2.6 for Anton.
Let's look at a list of star players: E. Staal, Malkin, Bergeron, Kessel, Crosby, Ovechkin, D. Sedin, Hall, Giroux, Pacioretty, Toews, J. Thornton, Kopitar, Toews, St. Louis, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Tavares, Parise, Backes, Seguin, Ladd, Getzlaf and Doan. Against these players, with McDonagh on the ice, the Rangers got 47% of the shot attempts. With Stralman? 53%.
I think Ryan McDonagh is pretty good. Stralman significantly outplayed him.
