Here's the beef I have with XGA/60...
Lets take the last three years of Chris Tanev. I filtered out D-men who played less than 700 ES minutes btw.
Tanev's ranking in xGA/60:
20/21- 1st out of 129 D-men.
19/20- 137th out of 164
18/19- 72nd out 176
In the span of three seasons Tanev went from middle of the pack, to one of the worst, to the best in the league.
How do you take useful information about a player's ability out of something like that?
I mean clearly Tanev didn't play at a seventh defender ability in 19/20, and then become the best shutdown defenceman in the league in 20/21, so what is XGA/60 actually measuring?
