You say to win cups and have a good player don’t have checking.. mike Izzy has how many cups and awards?

My player is a pass first higher PA than SC player and had over a ppg.

Every NHL STHS ratings file has almost every superstar with higher PA than SC and Simon makes those ratings.

My league has plenty of higher PA players than are successful infact the leading scorer for the past two seasons is a pass first forward.

So no it’s not fact. Plenty of examples as to why PA is still an important stat and checking doesn’t hurt your player either.

So instead of using anecdotal evidence why dont you try it yourself. Add a team entirely made up of shoot first player, or half a team, or heck, even just one line where there's significant gap between scoring and passing in scorings favor and see how they stack up.

Then talk.
