Additionally, the fact that players on AI controlled teams are scoring a goal per game indicates a problem IMO. Yes, I think humans should be rewarded for tactical genius. If it was just human players getting those results, fine - but the AI???

Fair enough. I get your point. But I just don't understand the need to imitate the NHL stats exactly. It's a fantasy hockey game after all where the world can diverge from real NHL depending on the kind of choices that user or AI managers make. If the AI put three superstar forwards on same line and they have great chemistry then why shouldn't they score lots?
Or if you fill your team with tough guys and tell them to hit and fight like crazy then that should also be reflected in the game. Even if in real life using enforcers is not really a thing anymore and the game has gotten more mundane.
