Come on. Pointless.
I have no idea why this is so complicated for you.

Directing pucks towards the net is something a player does. So yes, we measure attempts. Sometimes they miss the net, sometimes they find the goalie, and sometimes they find the back of the net. But you need shot attempts to score goals. You don't score goals without shot attempts.

Plus/Minus is not something a player does.

Correct. So is Dylan Larkin.

And Ryan O'Rielly was -53 when the Blues acquired him.

Elias Lindholm was -70 when the Flames acquired him.

Plus minus is worthless.
