Also pretty accurate... personally, I think my favourite part is that it unequivocally puts the Bergeron / Marchand / Pastrnak forward as the best line in the league. And... yeah, last year, they probably were. Wasn't talked about nearly enough.

Anyway, I love when someone does a meticulous analysis that encompasses like, the entire league, and random internet posters look through it to find an outlier and then whine, "but but... this doesn't accord with my preconceived notions about which players are good! The whole endeavour must be a sham!" Not like everything about it has to be 100% correct, but at least it's well thought out and based on some actual data. When you do that, you're going to get some results you might not have expected.
