I think they are a much better predictor of team success than individual
the one I have really found useful is when they show players Corsi when they play with certain guys vs when they don't
i.e everyone on the Bruins had a higher Corsi with Chara vs without Chara
it's still a long way to go, NHL stats are where baseball stats were 10-15 years ago and it likely won't grow as quick anyway because team sports are so much difficult than individual
