Maybe you are including PP time. You can't look at expected goal differential without excluding special teams. Otherwise it favors PP time and penalizes players that kill penalties. I would certainly hope he is near the top of the team the way he has been given PP time.

I'm looking at on ice expected goal differential. Yes, that includes powerplay. Because it counts. ES, he's 9th on the team (you could throw a blanket over he and the the two closest guys, Sharangovich and Lomberg), but the number isn't horrible. The whole team outside of Pospisil and Kadry are at about break even.
Anyway, it's true that it's pointless to go over it - it is what it is, he's not going anywhere.
