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.

Or the stat is telling us that Tanev has up and down years, and Nurse has all down years.
