I think, based on numbers alone and nothing else, that you could just as easily draw a conclusion that if a team has poor on-ice shooting percentage when a player is on the ice would mean that player is a poor playmaker.
Not sure how much the data would support it, but I bet at Thornton's peak his teams on-ice shooting percentage with him on the ice was pretty high.
