Naturally, all those arguments are more convincing when present with larger sample sizes, rather than anecdotally. In fact, the first and third may be totally wrong, whereas I think the evidence for the second is pretty strong.

I'll agree with all 3. We picked Trevor Kidd over Brodeur if I remember correctly. Dmen that can't score at all generally don't fare too well. And you just need to look at Arnold for proof of a player being elevated by his teammate. Arnold has heart and work ethic but his production will most definitely plummet the second he's taken away from Gaudreau.
