Quoting: Isles777
Evolvingwild, natstattrick , and micah’s model are pretty reliable, wouldn’t you say?
The problem with people that rely solely on these useful information is they 1) don't understand how to correlate the data 2) it never accounts for systems and 3) often use only parts of the data without looking at the whole and comparing it over larger sample sizes.
For the Islanders how much of any single players advance metrics are heavily influenced by the system? Carolina is similar, their structure is very good and they all buy into the system. Which is a good thing to have, it means the worst players are boosted by the best and the average guys get lifted by the system.
So a player that looks good from an advanced stats point of view on one team doesn't necessarily have the skills to succeed in other systems. For instance a big bruising, stay at home guy playing on a team that plays like the Islanders may look good from an advanced stats point of view but put him on a fast team that likes to control the puck and keep possession, he would be a disaster.
Since you don't understand that, arguing with you is fruitless and nonsensical. Half of the Islanders team (I am exaggerating) could look like absolute crap in a different system.
