All of these stats are a count for and against if you're on the ice, you don't have to be on the actually shooting it.
Bennett is doing more of all of these than half of the team's forwards when you adjust for his ice time through two games. He was exactly the same last year on the season as well ... 5th or 6th on the team as a forward.
Not all chances are equal for sure, but I think the explanation above points to how this has been handled, and it's certainly to the point that one player can't trump the system to make themselves look better than they are on a night in and night out basis.
Bennett is generating a lot in the last year and two games. He hasn't been rewarded yet.

I'm not suggesting you're spinning, sorry if that's how it came across, I just don't fully understand what the criteria is for judging these scoring chances, and whether if we compare them to video, do we see other things a coach might hone in on.
Just had a look through the first period and maybe I wasn't giving bennett his due in that game as I came in late in the 1st period, but for the sake of discussion let's look at Dube and Bennett in back to back shifts:

How do you score that in terms of the advanced stats, and how do you score it in terms of play as a coach?
