You're looking at this wrong. The goalie's impact on GA is far more attributable to him than the defenseman's impact on GF... someone else would take his minutes, an assist is only part of a goal. The Flames, without Dougie Hamilton, would be unlikely to score 23% less goals with other players replacing his minutes. You're looking at the goalie's difference from replacement, but not applying that logic for the defenseman.
