I don't 100% understand how player matrices are designed, so I thought I'd ask for some opinions.
My understanding is that the matrices are designed based on even strength performance (just shooting). If that doesn't provide a matrix which will generate enough goals then ranges are boosted to compensate for that.
So if I don't generate a lot of even strength chances based on my ice time, then my matrix will be sub-optimal.
I'm getting the impression that even strength performance is what I should be looking at, not overall goals/assists/shots since those are excised from the matrix. This question is influenced by how important puck control is in our game, meaning you'd often rather have someone out who will shoot with a lower range in order to keep the puck away from your opponent.
Any thoughts?

Not exactly, but kind of yes.
My understanding is that the matrix are based on ES yes. However, the ranges can vary significantly depending on your players special teams performance as well. If they are "average" at ES, the shooting portion of the matrix may not be "shoot the lights out"...but their PP and SH ranges could be quite significant, in addition to gaining a better PK rating or perhaps the new PP Ace designation.
If you're speaking to just the shooting portion specifically, then yes, keeping an eye on how the player performs at ES is a good indicator, but then passing and puck control, lack of penalties and injuries etc can make up for some shooting short comings. Good passers will get higher P#'s and more of them, on their cards which still generate offense for you, and keep the puck away from the opponent.
Higher passing ratings can actually increase the shooting numbers by compacting them on the matrix as well.
It is more easily transparent to see how well a guy shoots when they don't get special teams time yes, but that special teams play affects the matrix just in a different way.
At least that's how I understand it.

What I'm hearing is the Even Strength effectiveness is the way to go since it is more consistent than relying on your opponent getting penalties so you can try to capitalize on high ranges.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Semi related question if player cards are based off 5v5 stats are our goaltenders only rated for 5v5 play?

How large of a difference would be seen if we only used 5v5? If pp time is less likely to produce a scoring chance why would we remove it from player cards? Would this not mean your players card would get worse if pp time was added and
A bonus if your player is a consistent pl guy?

Goalies face more quality shots when PK, and fewer when PP.
Playing on the advantage create more scoring chances.
I still don't understand how goalie Fewer quality shots against the pp but a player creates more scoring chance while on the pp they seem to point in opposite directions

So it is weird. I am disappointed every time my guy scores a powerplay goal.
