If that's all we wanted to analyze why even have this thread for individual players. We can go check plus, minus and points on NHL.com going by your logic. Data visualization is so much more interesting to look at and provides more indepth analysis that the average person can understand.
Not saying you're wrong if you want to go look at Nhl.com and aren't interested in more indepth stats. Not saying you're wrong if you want to go export the Excel and tabulate your own stats yourself either. I just personally enjoy these type of visualizations and would enjoy more of it. It explains the "Why" of the equation not just the end result and any layman like me can kind of understand the "Why" of it because its visualized.
