Why don't you try explaining them to me.
Who collects the raw data from games? Is it Instat? Do they now have people at games or is it automated? Does anyone check the data? Does the collector know how the models are built? How do different services arrive at different figures for same games/players? Why do players who fall out of NHL fall out of their models? If players are being measured on percentile, that seems to be relevant. Why don't they release passing statistics? (some data collection groups track them and there is a reason they don't release to media clients). How come all the other bells and whistles like coverage areas and reach aren't shared with media clients? Why are people even using per-60 stats when they know full well, no two players are going to see the same types of minutes making them statistically incomparable?
well for one, you can look up the numbers he uses yourself. they are publicly available and they all paint Risto as trash. You can also look up what these stats are and what they measure yourself too.
as far as the rest of the questions, you re just trying really really hard to dismiss something you clearly havent put an ounce of personal research into just because you dont wanna and it makes players you like look bad.
I am not going to do your homework for you, if you want a crash course in analytics that's on you.
At the end of the day, literally every person who understands analytics and looks at his numbers agrees that Risto (and chariot and other big slow bad defenders etc) are not good at defence because they do not limit shots, chances or goals against, they dont clear the puck out of the zone, they dont intercept high danger plays etc etc etc.
And the eye test backs all this up if you watch for anything that isnt a hit or a crosscheck
