A quick sort of teams in the last three years (to match the goalie query timeline) shows Boston and Dallas as being top 5 in xGA/60 and high danger chances against per 60.
So that should put some concern on acquiring Boston or Dallas goaltenders.
Colorado is decent ... 12th,13th
Arizona though ... bottom 6-7 in chances against, and 19th in xGA
So the Arizona goaltenders aren't getting sheltered.
