Disagree on finishing though.
If you look at on ice shooting percentage and not shooting percentage I think you get a better feel for a top player's impact. Ovechkin shoots a lot for example so his shooting percentage can be low, but his on ice shooting percentage high because of the rebounds he creates.
Top on ice shooting percentage forwards from the last three years ...
Kuznetsov
Vrana
Pettersson
Panarin
Draisaitl
Boeser
McDavid
Kucherov
Ovechkin
Marner
Point
Kane
That's a pretty good group.

Yeah, but you removed some guys. There are some guys at the top you wouldn't expect to see if pure talent dictated shooting %. With on ice Shooting % you also get into the issue of one high shooting% line mate influencing another line mate's on-ice %.
Which kind of leads me to taking so many of these stats with a grain of salt as everything and everyone, is influenced by everything and everyone else.
