It’s not bait, they’re objective measures, and I’m not comparing Buch and ADA. I’m asking why you can use Buch’s shot attempts as a positive for him, but won’t use them for ADA.
And the answer to your question is both. But please explain to me how ADA having the best or second best zone exit/entry stats, shot assists, possession stats, and relxGF% on our team means he sucks. And we’ve been over his points. He’s had a revolving door of partners and never got consistent powerplay time. 6/8 points are primary and he didn’t score a goal all season. If you think that he’ll continue to shoot 0%, get the worst on-ice save%, and inconsistent partners/pp time, then fine. I don’t buy any of that.
