There are so many variables that it all becomes useless to me.

Russell has more points is an obvious one. How many other those attempts converted to actual shots and then goals?

Just looked at Ellis, he hardly plays short handed and uSAT is an all scenario stat. If that number isn't 5 on 5 and special teams deployment are significantly different then the whole thing becomes meaningless.

Nashville as a team has a 6 point uSAT edge on Calgary as a whole. If it's not relative then the whole thing is a waste of time.

Just looked and Russel has a .020 advantage for SV% 5 on 5 then Ellis. So is that luck then? I can never tell what is supposed to be luck and what is supposed to be skill. With our goalies that seems like a huge accomplishment.
