The "if yes" scenario is the only one you're exploring. Therefore it's essentially the same as making the claim.
Look, no one can say with total certainty whether or not he's having this "boosting" effect on his teammates when he's on the ice. But if he is, it will be showing in his on-ice numbers. Problem is, his on-ice numbers are bad.

It's not a claim. It's a suggestion. Let it go.
And no I don't think a player's intangibles have to necessarily show in their own on ice numbers. If you help other players play better it's in their numbers, not your own.
