To be a team that gives up less of both is a good thing no matter how you look at it in my opinion.
And honestly I'm not interested in someone that is using an eye test to come to the conclusion that "suits" them. What the hell is that?
I went a decade arguing with Lanny on here over what he saw compared to every one else. Thank God I can just point to stats now. Less aggravating in handling the extreme see what I want to see viewer.

Of course, any model that tries to account for strength of shooter will end up being subjective because then the framer has to make a heirarchy of shooters in the NHL. If it's McDavid or Stamkos or Matthews, fine. But where does, say, Brandon Saad fit?
