Nobody denies those numbers, but what people disagree with you about is their absolute application in determining a player's worth. Nobody, other than the virtuous organization that is the Coyotes, blindly follows analytics like this.
Analytics are part of the story, a very important part of the story even. But they are not THE story, as you continue to assert from your soap box.

Even more damning might be the case of Florida. Promoted analytics people above Tallon and their team literally fell apart. They went from one of the most promising young teams in the league to a complete disaster. So much so that they immediately reversed the direction and put control back in the hands of a hockey guy who uses his eyes more than a spreadsheet.
