+/- does that. It's no where near perfect, but if the puck goes in, that is a quality shot in my books.
+/- is pretty much Corsi where you isolate only shots that find the back of the net. So, in some ways, more valuable than Corsi.
I really think the main reasons why +/- gets crapped on so much is that
A) It is not new
B) It is very easy to understand (What's the point of even talking about it if you don't get to sound like a professor)
