I thought we put the idea of “more shots = team better” to bed with the Glen Gulutzan Corsi darlings.
The discussion of not playing him is only tangentially related to Rinaldo. Bennett’s been playing himself off the team.

That's not what I said.
Bennett had a miserable start to the season, but his numbers since January 1st suggest he may be back on track to what we've seen in the past; a guy that generates a lot but can't finish.
Since Jan 1st for forwards Bennett is ...
2nd in CF%
4th in Shots%
2nd in xGF%
4th in Scoring Chance %
2nd in High Danger %
Rinaldo is
14th in CF%
14th in Shots%
14th in xGF%
14th in Scoring Chance %
13th in High Danger %
This isn't "more shots", it's a sustained period of time where you're driving the play, generating more than the opposition and generally contributing to winning hockey games.
