The thing about expected stats though, skill can out play the underlying numbers. A guy like Draisaitl is consistently a mediocre to poor player in expected stats, but his actual goal splits are better because his passing and shooting skills exceed the average NHLers and tip the scales.

There is a clearer hierarchy in the pairing...
Hanifin-Andersson corsi- 40.7% fenwick 45.5
Weegar-Tanev corsi- 68.4% fenwick 61.5
Weegar is a beast. It will not be long before it become Tkachuk for Weegar and Huberdeau rather than Tkachuk for Huberdeau and Weegar.
The Flames are playing their #1 and #2 D on the same pairing
