This makes no sense.
It does not matter for corsi whether you get rid of the puck immediately or later on. It just matters how you lost it. If you lost the puck by taking a shot, that's good for corsi. Shot quality is irrelevant.

Not sure we differ as much as you think.
I'm just saying you need a level of sustained pressure ... be it rebounds, or scrambles, or turning the breakout from the opposition away to get up to the levels of corsi for events that the Flames had last year.
Shooting from everywhere gets you a shot attempt when you do it, but it makes it less likely to get the multiple attempts you need to become a high corsi team. You're chasing the game too much to get into those levels.
The Flames were a high event team both ways, but had high splits too. They had the puck more than the opposition but didn't finish due to other reasons (goalie set, shooting wide, too predictable)
Teams that lead the league in home plate shots aren't shoot from anywhere corsi stat chasing hockey teams.
