That's quite an accusation. Classy.
I'd suggest it's probably a bit dangerous of insinuating someone is making up a stat just because you haven't heard of it.
It's called XG+/- (expected goals +/-) and is widely used, buy yeah I made up
To the rest ... no it's not just shot data.
The two are ranked 1/2 in NHL defenseman for shot attempts, but you'll ignore that.
They're ranked 1/2 in scoring chance splits, which is a lot more detailed than just shot attempts.
They're ranked 3/4 in high danger chances, which is even more specific than scoring chances.
Ranked 1/2 in shots that get through, not shot attempts.
Heck even if you want to disregard all the above, Hamilton is ranked 39th in on ice goal splits (actual results) which puts him as a clear cut #2 defenseman league wide, and to many he's unlucky as hell to be ranked that low.
I get it ... you wait in the weeds until things aren't going well for the Flames and then you unleash one of your assaults on the team, the GM, specific players, and always Hamilton.
But it's not that hard to a) see through and b) refute
