Middle-of-the-lineup deployment: average linemates and opposition.

QoT averages the season xGF% of Chychrun's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time Chychrun's opponents get, so a high QoC means facing top lines. Both are weighted by time shared on the ice, lean on last season for small samples, and are ranked within forwards or defence.
