With-or-without-you
Who Elias 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 Elias, 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.

The Gap
50-pt spreadThe 50-point spread between offensive (74th) and defensive (24th) percentiles is extreme for a center. Elite offensive creation but defensive liability.

Roster
Top teammates by points on the Vancouver Canucks this season.
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.
