If he didn't get the tap ins he wouldn't get offensive starts and he wouldn't get as many shots.
Or
Just taking out the goals and not any of the shots is a ridiculous notion.
If we are rewriting time and 5 goals didn't go in I would argue that at least 5 goals would go in that didn't the first time. Simply because from where he shoots and the opportunities he creates he should be around 15%.
Again if he just lost 5 goals and nothing gained he'd be at Byrons level and he'd be on the fourth line.
And that's why Wideman and Brodies SH% subjectively seem great but are actually much worse than Byron's. All depends on the role. A league average SH% is a completely meaningless number.
