Makes me think of baseball where there are metrics on certain categories of hits. I’m sure teams internally have better metrics. My feeling with the Flames is they’re throwing a lot of pucks at the net but winning the high chance battle isn’t really real since not all those chances are of equal quality or danger.

The number one thing that's missing in the publically-available High Danger Chance metrics is whether or not an "HDC" - or any other shot for that matter - was immediately preceded by a cross-seam pass.
Shots following a pass accross the slot are - by far - the most dangerous and effective shots in hockey. Some of the paid-for hockey analytics include this data, but sites like MoneyPuck don't factor that into their models.
