I know points aren’t everything, but In the last two seasons, Kane has 146 points compared to Debrincats
98. 58 goals compared to 49. If Kane wasn’t on Chicago, Debrincat wouldn’t enjoy nearly as much success. Kane and Debrincat are similar to the Guzental/Malkin dynamic in Pittsburgh right now. While Guzental is a great supporting player and having another phenomenal season (last season he played with Sid but he’s once again excelling with Malkin this year), it’s obvious that playing with one of the best players in the world is helping his stats. Remove Kane; (or Malkin/Crosby) and both players wouldn’t be as productive. Still great players though. They’re taking advantage of their situation

except debrincat and strome have been carrying kane since they actually drive play

I know ur referring to Kane’s weak advanced stats, but let’s not forget Kane was getting 100 points before strome/cat were even Blackhawks. I love advance stats but let’s take them with a grain of salt. They’re not the “be all end all” solution to evaluating players. They’re a great tool and very useful, but there’s other factors that come into play as well
