This card suoermatt posted in another thread it's not shot selection but gives you an idea. Missing from the card on another one of her tweets is 27th in high danger scoring chances.

This is an article by Justin Bourne. They are using a NHL advanced stats provider and using player tracking. They will break down playoff teams so we won't get to see our stats but he has a quick blurb that says what everyone has been saying including opposing coaches a lot of volume and hardly any quality. They are tracking some of the stats you talk about.
These stats really make me sour on that xGF model which was becoming evident during the season. To much value on low quality.

I agree with the lack of creating high danger chances offensively, but all I'm getting from the card is that our defense was leakier overall, and our goaltending was pretty brutal.
All are factors in the missed playoffs. The strategy is sound overall, but it does need some tweaking in order to change those key metrics. Forwards helping out the defense needed to happen more often as well (looking at you Kadri).
Chalk it up to underperformance and lack of correction to that performance. Chalk it up to lack of adaptation to systemic play not yielding results.
Chalk it up to a stubborn coach who lost the room early on.
