You know who played against tougher competition more? Several defencemen, including "defensively liable" Erik Karlsson:

Karlsson - 27.04/29.0% = 7.84 minutes per game

As well as some of the following:
Suter - 8.57 per game
Weber - 7.86 per game
Josi - 7.74 per game
Campbell - 7.65 per game
Brodie - 7.08 per game
Doughty - 7.37 per game

... the list goes on.

PK Subban - 7.02 per game
Not 100% sure on this, I didn't come up with this statistic, but I believe you're interpreting this incorrectly. I believe this stat to mean the average % that his competition plays of their team's ice time. I would imagine this is time-weighted as well. Example:

Plays 66.6% of the time against player A, who averages 15 minutes (25%)
Plays 33.3% of the time against player B, who averages 30 minutes (50%)

(.666*.25) + (.333*.50) *100% = 33.3% QoC TOI%.

This is based on the logic that the best players play the most ice time. Your interpretation (30% means 30% of his ice time is spent playing against 'top competition) leaves 'top competition' without any real definition. Again, not based on any fact, but it makes much more sense in my eyes. It's an iffy stat for me based on how close the numbers are in comparison to Quality of Competition stats that are possession-based.
