There are no stats yet that capture quality of the actual shot taken, which I hope to see one day. It’ll probably require at least planar 2 D reconstruction of goalie position from puck POV, or something funky like that, if not full 3D reconstruction of the event. (Which probably would be easier)
It’ll probably be sooner than we think though

At least it doesn't take away from evaluating teams in what they give up.
But yeah if you're a below average finishing team (think the Flames are) you don't necessarily do as well as your underlying stats suggest.
