I mean do you drop him 50 spots because of 2 weaknesses?
It's not just that he has 2 weaknesses. He's so horrible in those categories, calling them "weaknesses" doesn't do it justice. He's a few standard deviations below the waiver-level player in PIM and hits, so it's like saying a 20 goal scorer has a "weakness" when compared to a 40 goal scorer. Sure, we've typically got positive biases towards the categories that Kessel fills out, but a category win is a category win.

I'm still at work at the moment, but once I get home I'll dig up a scenario where amalgamated z-scores might not be the best way of identifying player values.
Look forward to it!
