You would be surprised. The Lightning went from 11th in possession to 4th by adding Stralman. The Rangers fell from 7th in possession to 19th when they lost Stralman. Stralman is basically TJ Brodie lite, he's really damn good., He's been in the last two Stanley Cup Finals in a row.
Of course there are other changes, like HOFer Martin St. Louis that aren't on the Rangers anymore.

Marc Staal? Not so good apparently. Does it match reality? Eh. It's hard to find stats that measure all of the things that physical defensive defensemen like Staal contribute. Corsi seems to vastly underrate physical, defensive defensemen is what I've noticed.

Other than Hjalmarsson, Weber, Chara, Despres, Tanev, Martin, Methot, etc etc etc....
