If it's that because Bozak scores there are fewer second chance opportunities, then that's true, but it's also going to be inconsequential to the numbers. It also doesn't explain how players did SO much worse when playing with Bozak. You say "controlling for puck possession" needs to be taken into account. Well . . . it is. The primary metric used is Corsi, which is a proxy for puck possession.

Sure the CF% for all players when Kadri is centre is greater than when Bozak plays the role, but I think you need to take into account the amount of possession each player has on the puck. If Bozak scores more often, CF% will be lower for all other players, especially when his shots are quality ones.

controlling for puck possession is something that needs to be taken into account here.
