Just saying.

Well are you ‘just saying’ that you found a stat that leads you to conclude that the guy who had an 11 game pointless streak is arguably better than the all star and future captain?
Without looking it up, I will tell you what I expect. I expect that the differences are negligible. By virtue of being mainly deployed with them, he will be the beneficiary of that and likely have similar numbers for that portion, give or take, then we are splitting hairs, about, what, that Tkachuk was unproductive with Frolik?
That may tell you that Mangiapane was more productive offensively than Frolik this year. (Single example but apply the concept to other linemates in general)
