That looks amazing on paper if you don't take into account that I only took 10 faceoffs.

Abby took the fourth most faceoffs on the Wings last season. He took more than Flip and Emmerton.
452 faceoffs isn't a lot for a center, but it was the fourth most on the team. It is certainly more than the "couple dozen" you thought you saw last season.
