Keep feeding your own narrative using points and plus/minus though.

Points are a strong indicator of what a defenseman brings offensively. If he isn't getting points, he's not bringing much to the offensive side of the game.
Relative xGF% may seem like a wonderful stat, but there are reasons to be skeptical of it that I won't get into now.

His relative xGA/60 that year tells a different story... you gotta go quite a ways down the list before you find Gio.
