I think this year will be an interesting test of this measure if a guy tracks it throughout the season. I would expect Nurse to improve on this stat this season as the Oilers have added a few better puck possession forwards to their roster, and forwards have a bigger impact on the corsi than defencemen.

It will be interesting to see what goes on with Keith as well who has been even worse than Nurse in XGA/60 the past few seasons.
What is your actual argument, if you don’t like the state don’t consider it. Nurse is still hot garbage in every single other defensive stat.
