Help is on the way.
A little food for thought:
A coach can have a large affect on a players advance stats....if the coaches system is anti advance stats a player who can be a good possession stat player may look below average.
Stats like plus/minus giveaway/takeaways etc have a place when used within a team .....but not when comparing players from one team to the next. The same can be said with advance stats as systems play a huge role in individual stats.
I think if you compare Gardiner with Carlyle and Gardiner with Babcock you will see a pattern that you can see with all Leaf players who played under both coaches.
There are no stats that we as fan are not exposed to.....it is their applications and how each stat is used and the context that a team uses that separates us from them.
Data is also only as good as the person collecting them. Giveways are a stat that I have collected for as long as I can remember and I apply my own standard for them. A giveaway is not simply a bad pass.....a pass to an area that under the system we are playing should have been a completed pass, is not a giveaway, this is a system break down. If a player misses a rotation this effects giveaway, possession stats as well as corsi etc. It is these stats that teams collect that you will not see published as they are collect for the team only by a person who is applying context to each stat.
