Oh yes I agree with you. 60% zone time would be crazy good (sustained through a full season that is). The reason zone time specifically is rarely used is because Corsi is basically the same thing, but with respect to events rather than time. If youre spending large amounts of time in the offensive zone, you will likely be getting a large amount of shot attempts. There is data on which zone players tend to start in though (not really related to this but interesting and informative nonetheless).

I guess my definition of the best would be which player will give my team the best chance to win. Karlsson definitely is that. Maybe he isnt as good without the puck as Chara but he certainly is better with it. Karlsson can get away with turning the puck over more because he more than makes up for by doing what youre team should be set up to do; score goals. He creates more than he gives up. Thats a good player in my eyes.

Methot is ok but not a top line dman by any means.
