That's just you being ignorant of what they suggest.

Those three stats suggest that among players who played a defensive role on their teams, and yet drove the puck up the ice, Paul Byron was one in a select group of 6. Nothing more, nothing less. That's a unique player. If you're confusing that for "Maybe I should pick up Byron in my hockey pool and trade him for Bergeron or Landeskog?" then that's as dumb as saying "Malkin sucks at faceoffs, therefore he sucks at hockey"
