If you miss the goal by 1meter ( 39.3700787402 inches) you will probably not get a goal , but you could get 1st assist.
?
You can score on a penalty shot and there is no opportunity for assists, talk about unfair scoring… lol!

You pay for both. By your logic, Brock Boeser would have gotten a bigger contract than McDavid.
Offcourse you pay for both , but if one player scores 20g 80 ass and the other 60g 40ass and otherwise is fairly equal. The goalscorer will get more money, if it is likely they continue on that same path.

All that plus all around play, value to the team.
That’s why Matthews earns the most, Marner 2nd and Nylander 3rd.

Historically, secondary assists are the only point type with an argument for a difference in value.

and of course at times the second assist is the main driver of the goal.
Matthews had one the other night.
Yes, sometimes it is. Sometimes, the most important play doesn't even get a point at all. Points are imperfect in general.
But at least the secondary assist stuff comes from somewhere. Diminishing primary assists isn't supported by anything.

All else equal, you'd pay a 30-10-10 guy pretty similar to a 10-30-10 guy.

That is pretty crazy sounding. 30 goal scorers fetch a premium because, now get this. They make the 10 30 guy possible and the skill to score is more rare than the skill to get an assist. This is true and self evident if only because every goal generates up to 2 assists.

Goal scores alway are worth more than the assist guy because scoring is……..Hard. Making a pass is much easier
It's not crazy at all. You just want to be dismissive of playmaking. Directly setting up goals is just as hard and rare and valuable as tapping a puck in the net. The 10-30-10 guy is making the 30-10-10 guy possible just as much as the opposite. A goal does not generate two primary assists. In fact, 30 primary assist seasons are much rarer than 30 goal seasons through the cap era.
