Here's the list of the top 10 players with the fewest incompletions (Throw Aways + Throw Drops)

1. Trevor Stocki (2)

Carrie-Anne Whyte (2)

3. Kirsten Querbach (3)

CarolAnne Black (3)

Jonathan Champagne (3)

6. Melissa Berry (4)

Christine Beals (4)

Simon Berry (4)

Laura Knowles (4)

Martin Cloake (4)

This is quite an eclectic list. There is one competitive male players, two competitive female players, the player with the lowest salary in the league, and several people with average salaries. 

Comparatively, here are the bottom 10 players:

1. Jessie Robinson (34)

2 Alessandro Colantonio (27)

Craig Anderson (27)

4. Sina Dee (25)

5. Alex Bush (24)

Tim Kealey (24)

Seb Belanger (24)

8. Fred Caron (23)

Patrick Kenzie (23)

10. Amos Lee (22)

This list also contains a nice mix of players. Sina and Amos are 6th and 7th in salary respectively. Jessie leads the women in the league in assists. Seb and Tim are middle of the pack salary players (although Seb will argue that most of his turrns are throw-drops!)

Maybe it's opportunity to make turnovers? What if you had 1 pass and it was incomplete? Alternatively, someone makes 1000 passes and has 30 turn overs would have an excellent 97% passing rate.

Let's look at that. I calculated "Turnover %" simply as incompletes/attempts. That gives the following top 10 list:

1, Rob Tyson (5.4%)

2. Kirsten Querbach (5.5%)

3. Mike Lee (6.2%)

4. Chris Sullivan (6.3%)

5. Heather McCabe (6.8%)

6. Kevin Hughes (7.4%)

Steve Chow (7.4%)

8. Dan Thomson (7.8%)

Laura Knowles (7.8%)

10. Carrie-Anne Whyte (8.0%)

There are only 3 people on this list that are also on the list of minimum number of turns: Laura Knowles, Carrie-Anne Whyte, KQ. Minimizing your turnovers doesn't always mean more assists. Rob Tyson is 1st on this list, but doesn't have that many assists or goals (I was going to write about how Rob is one of the most reliable players who isn't showing up on the stat sheet simply because he is not turning the disc over). 

Here are the bottom ten people:

1. Nick Theriault (35.7%)

2. Tanya Gallant (31.6%)

3. Tim Kealey (25.5%)

4. Ryan Mussell (25.0%)

CarolAnne Black (25.0%)

6. Chris Tran (24.3%)

7. Seb Belanger (23.8%)

8. Jonathan Pindur (23.5%)

9. Nina Ramic (22.0%)

10. Andre Scott (21.3%)

Again, we only see one person on both "bottom 10" lists. And again, it's eclectic. Pindur may turn it over on 23.5% of his possessions, but he also has 27 points, including a whopping 20 assists (5th overall!) More turnovers does not necessarily mean a worse player. There are 43 players with greater than the average turnover rate (15%) and of those players, 19 (about 1/2) of them have more than the league average assists. 

In conclusion, I don't know. Not all turnovers are created equal and sometimes and aggressive look is important. I don't think turnovers are the greatest measure of a player's skill.

It's also important to recognize when to bail too.
