Could advanced stats improve to the point where you get a greater shades of grey breakdown on scoring chances? For sure. Does the current system place too much wait on shot volume? I think so as well.
Sutter off the ice was a mess by all accounts, but he was coaching a system that had them in control most nights.

I’d agree here
In fact SebC said it well just a few posts back

They could use their possession smarter.
Creating better chances (increasing cross o zone passes rather than just directing low prob shots on net) may well mean reducing the volume of shots so some stats may suffer correspondingly
