Yeah I was surprised when I put that up yesterday. But no it doesn't have anything to do with Edmonton depth. There isn't 5 good possession players on every team, so a team that sucks has a guy that has good numbers but really isn't that good.
Actually the opposite. He was a play driver by any measure playing with hot garbage. That is stunning to me.
