Hockey stats have come along way, but still are overly dependent on team factors, like ice-time, linemates or coaches' playing style. Also what happens if you're using a historical database with limited stats, or are starting a new fictional league with no stats? Again, if you want to use stats I assume you'll be able to, but don't see anything wrong with having another option.
