Haha come on now guys! I know he sucks down hot dogs almost as fast as he double-fists two cans of Coca-ColaŽ at the same time (theoretically), but the LandPhil can still be a difference maker.
His raw stats suck but he plays on a poo team.
This season looking at his possession-relative stats he is:
(in terms of percentile of players with over 450 mins of TOI at even strength)
85th in CF% Rel
79th in xGF% Rel
75th in SCF% Rel
81st in HDCF% Rel
93rd in SF% Rel
All of which is indicative that he's stuffing his face with hot dogs with 1 hand on the bus wheel, instead of double-fisting them in the back with one seat to himself
EDIT - Jeez they're also loading him up with minutes, like 17 min a night. We'd be giving him 5-7 and that's with 2nd powerplay time. Could be better in short sprints, like Gimli.
He's also shooting like 5% on the year, that's gotta come around at some point right?
