Again, it's not just me. You can be wrong about Parayko all you like, but claiming I'm the only one saying these things is just a lie. And I never said eye tests aren't subjective. My point was that analytics are in no way objective.
As for all these little "separation" formulas to produce "individual" analytics, pray tell there, how exactly are they controlling for all these factors? What are they comparing it to for this control exactly?
Like I said, exactly none of this stuff you're on about changes reality. Analytics mean nothing if you don't understand them. You just come off sounding like the kid giving a book report for a book he hasn't read.
Chill on the insults, man. Are you THAT incapable of having a hockey debate?
According to Evolving Hockey's RAPM charts (taken directly from their site):
"There are many aspects of the game that players have no control over. The goal of RAPM is to control for these aspects and provide a better measure of a player’s offensive or defensive ability...This allows us to control for all teammates, opponents, score state, zone starts, etc. at the same time further increasing the accuracy of a specific player’s rating."
Using this model, Parayko has suffered the fate of a 50% 5v5 defensive impact (individual) with a similar xG percentile (on-ice). His metrics have just been mid. And your eye test doesn't disprove it either.
Even if you don't like Evolving hockey (which is literally just raw numbers), plenty of public models don't favour him either. Andy and Rono + JFresh's models don't Hold him in high standards either.
Looking at Parayko's history, it hasn't been all that great, either. It seems that once he's been thrusted into the 1RD role against top comp his analytics have taken a downslide.
You can continue to parrot "my eye test, my eye test!", but you literally cannot convince me otherwise.
