He does that already. It’s just that he’s the guy who gets the puck back from the guy who he passed to so that he can score

Points are really arbitrary when you think about it.
1. Why are goals and assists worth the same?
2. Why are 2 assists awarded? Why not 1 and why not 3?
3. A goal scored with two assisted is worth more than an unassisted goal when looking at aggregate points, but both have the same value towards winning a match.
It’s why as someone who has a very strong stats background, I love the recent explosion of advanced stats. They are still no where near perfect, but the bar should just be to be better than the current standard, which I think they absolutely are.

Why pass to another guy when he could pass it into the back of the net?

The hilarious part about this is that when Marner does elect to actually shoot the puck, he’s a top-tier goal scorer himself.

To be fair to the secondary assist sometimes it is more responsible for the goal than the primary assist.
