I think they're great for at least narrowing in on what we see on the ice.
I don't watch every Oiler game, but assuming the guy hasn't changed greatly, seeing that he's not a good five on five player, and that his powerplay contribution has come with a clearly unsustainable shooting percentage it makes sense that the guy comes out negative no?
I've been saying this for four months now. All Neal can do is score. If he's not scoring he's negative value and a boat anchor.
An independent model seems to be drilling down to that same result.
