Don't let the fact that he has a 34% offensive zone start time (with a 44% zone finish) with the toughest quality of competition among all our forwards (behind only Gio and Brodie for the team) get in the way of the numbers.
He has Bad Corsi and Bad PDO means he is a bad player.
So what if he is one of the team's best penalty killers, provides some physicality, and is a good defensive player. He has bad corsi and therefore he is bad.
Remember the key to advanced stats is singling out one stat to tell you the story on a player instead of the whole picture.

Keep in mind the zone start zone finish data was largely the doing of Backlund. WOWY numbers have largely proven that. His shooting percentage absolutely will regress. He's never produced at this clip in junior, let alone the NHL. Jooris at least had multiple seasons at .75ppg in a tougher NCAA. Bouma only hit .75ppg once in an overage WHL season on a very good team.
