My beef certainly isn't with the 'new' stats, only with some of the conclusions drawn from them.
The goal isn't to increase shots for in and of itself, it is to drive the play and control it more of the time. While shots for is a surrogate for that, it shouldn't be the actual goal. You don't solve the problem by saying 'we need to take more shots'. Trying to satisfy the metric doesn't fix the actual issue necessarily.
