Goal suppression is absolutely equal to goal creation. Love it or leave it.

The going rate for a while has been $100k per point. So 100 points is a $10 Million player. Probably a bit more now with the cap going up.
How much is a defensive defenseman worth? The premier goal suppresors in the league. I'd cite Norris winners but that's clearly an award for offense from a defenseman. Kinda crazy that the award for defenseman still vastly weighs offense higher than actual defense.
When you can cite a $10 million defensive defenseman than you can pretend that goal suppression is anywhere near equal to goal creation.
