With-or-without-you
Who Brandon plays with at 5v5, and how the shot-quality share moves when they are apart — a with-or-without-you read.

5v5, real shift-overlap TOI; Corsi incl blocked, xG unblocked. “Apart” is that teammate’s share in the minutes he played without Brandon, so the swing is a comparison of the same player in two situations rather than against the league. Pairs need 100 minutes together to appear at all, and a swing still carries whoever else was on the ice — it is a strong hint, not an isolated effect.

Scouting Take
Displays elite offensive production, a top on-ice shot share, elite finishing ability, exceptional playmaking, a heavy penalty-kill workload. Areas for improvement: bleeds goals against at evens.
On-ice impact mirrored side by side. Equal bars = balanced. Asymmetry = one-dimensional.
The Gap
65-pt spreadThe 65-point spread between offensive (92th) and defensive (27th) percentiles is extreme for a winger. Elite offensive creation but defensive liability.

Bars are share of unblocked attempts, where he chooses to shoot, over a full season, which is the stable part. xG/100 compares his shot quality from a zone against the league rate for a forward. GAx is goals above expected there, a single season and noisy, zones marked * are flagged small-sample by the generator and are shown muted rather than hidden.
