I defensively think its a very detailed analysis, but unfortunately it does do much in the way of context, opponents and teammates.
Unless I missed it, they do not do anything to factor in teammates, even just looking at iGF to GF tells a lot.
Buchnevich scored 11 of the 54 goals that occurred with him on the ice at even strength. (20%)
Meier scored 17 of the 40 that occurred. (42.5%)
Which is better than players like Ovechkin who scored 17 of the 48 (35%), and almost as good as Matthews, who scored 30 of 63 (47.6).
Even this year, in which Meier had a MUCH worse year than last, he still was 28th in the league in EV Goals.
Overall between the past 2 years, he is 15th in the league with 39 Even strength goals (scoring 39 of 102).
My point is that Meier has pretty much been carrying his line for the past year
I mention the even strength, because overall between the seasons, the only stat of EVO, EVD, PPO, SHD (The main stats) that Buchnevich leads is the PPO, in which I can go into how San Jose has had a lot of issues overall with the power play.
Anyways, there are a lot of people making different one number ultimate player valuations, for example, Hockey-reference gives Meier 7.4 and 4.6 PS for the past two years, Buchnevich was given 4.0 and 4.1.
Corsica Hockey gave Meier a 76.87 (Rank 16) this year, while Buchnevich got a 73.99 (Rank 44).
My point is that there are many different 1 number evaluations for players, and just because one says a player is better than the other, does not definitely mean that is the only one that you should look at.
edit (more stuff):
Meier is 1st on the team this past year in EV G/60, P/60, iCF/60, iFF/60 (duh), iSCF/60, iHDCF/60. And one of the top players in Penalties drawn/60 and Hits/60.
Buchnevich is also near the top for Non-Individual CF.
