Wow. You're right, Austin, those are abysmal.
If I may, one thing about Grant that also sticks out to me is his ludicrous defensive zone deployment. His 5v5 offensive zone faceoff percentage in Anaheim this year was an eye-popping 21.79%, by far the lowest figure on the Ducks and one of the lowest in the league. The only everyday NHLers with a lower percentage of oZFs this year were Jay Beagle, Tyler Motte, Nick Shore, Colton Sceviour, and Freddy Gauthier. All of those guys had similar xGF% to Grant's 39.14%.
Normally I don't look at oZF% but when it's that extremely slanted I think it has to be considered, especially given that Grant's numbers have never ever been
that bad.
