Tatar is always great in regular season. VGK and MTL both scratched Tatar for the playoffs, and both teams went on a long playoffs run.
You really wanna be the team carrying that player on your top 6 in the playoffs?
absolutely. and I certainly don't want to be carrying Josh Anderson.
Playoff counting stats for Tatar:
TOI: 590 || Points: 12 || Shots: 65
Playoff counting stats for Anderson:
TOI: 652 || Points: 14 || Shots: 128
So Anderson isn't helping his team on the scoresheet anymore than Tatar.
How about on-ice results relative to their teammates:
Tatar -- RelTM G+-/60: 0.14 || RelTM C+-/60: 12.58 || RelTM xG+-/60: 0.2
Anderson -- RelTM G+-/60: -0.05 || RelTM C+-/60: -6.46 || RelTM xG+-/60: -0.36
So Anderson is a below average player relative to his teammates and Tatar isnt.
One more: Career playoff PDO
Tatar: 0.988
Anderson: 1.008
I'll take Tatar literally every single time.
I'm very excited for people to read this, have their eyes glaze over, and tell me "BUT TATAR WAS SCRATCHED" and "ANDERSON BRINGS A PHYSICAL ELEMENT YOU NEED IN THE PLAYOFFS". sigh.
