It's an omnium gatherum of questionable numbers that are only questionably related to each other, all added up without any scaling or weighting factor. (Are 1 hit, 1 blocked shot, and 1 takeaway all equally valuable in winning hockey games? I have reason to doubt it.)
If ricardodw (or anyone else) can demonstrate a strong correlation between his composite number and goal-scoring or goal prevention, then we can start to talk about how meaningful it is. As it stands, it's just his personal taste in players (basically, 'I like tough guys') dressed up in the form of an arbitrary number.
