It's the same story in the playoffs. Of all defenders the Flames have had over the last 3 years who have played over 80 minutes (11), he's last in GF%.
I appreciate advanced shot metrics more than most but at a certain point over the course of more than 200 games the goals tell a story too.

Well no, there are 64 top-pairing defensemen, so 75th would put him high 3rd, not 'between a number 3 and a number 4" (ignoring that some Dmen are simply point producers without being top-pairing guys).
