Actually Corsi is a great stat, . . .for goalies. It was developed (in short), to help goalies identify high percentage shot scenarios and situations (again, in short).
However, the NHL has used it to jump on the "Saber Metric" bandwagon and twist it to sell as "Stat-tainment", making it a joke to everyone except goalies and their coaches.
This is a main reason why Corsi stats can't be used in contract negotiations. . . .

I would gave to agree with that assessment. I believe it was actually a goalie that developed it. The stat is completely misused. If it was accurate it would mean that Beagle may have been the worst player in the league the last couple of years. But we know that isn't the case.

Yep, i think it was goalie coach that developed it. But Beagle is a great example: when the opposing goalie saw Beagle on the ice, the stat would tell him not to expect high shot volumes, completely disregarding that he is a primary defensive player that shouldn’t necessarily have high offensive zone percentage or shot volumes, so from that point of view, his Corsi shouldn’t be high.
But that doesn’t make for good stat-tainment
