Really high correlation. Not suggesting cause and effect - don't need to. The correlation is a strong indicator and predictor on its own.

Well, getting a point from anyone necessarily means a goal was created. I don't know if having them come from D instead of F has any more value than if the player was born on Thursday instead of Monday.
Also tricky because the value is in the creation of a goal, which can spawn anywhere from 1-3 points and yield identical value to the outcome of a game.
