About a week ago, Callum shared a chart in his article looking at the combination of Smith, Brassard, and Stone. Here’s what it looked like:
An interesting thing stuck out to me right away: all of the combos in the “good” half of the chart feature Mark Stone. This chart only featured lines with at least 50 minutes together, so some players are underrepresented. Still, it gives us a very clear idea: Stone can turn every line he’s on into a good line.
There’s no question about Stone’s skill, at least for Senators fans.
