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

first of all what 2 are you referring to?
where would one look up the rankings of XG +/-
what is an on ice goal split and how is that ranked? What would luck have to do with the ranking? Is that the same as saying if Gaudreau was a bit luckier he would win the scoring Title?
Last year I was on board with the surging Flames and placed wagers in Vegas on them doing well in the playoffs.
Not this year.
