Nope.
Zone face off percentages point more to a coach's intent, so they're not the same as overall percentages.

Guess we're working with entirely different definitions of sheltering...
Before he was traded, Tanev was the guy the Flames played guys with to shelter them, cover for mistakes, etc. Not sure how you can claim that this doesn't work long term, but will happily accept any statistics to support that assertion.

Yeah I'm using the NHL one!
You don't put a guy in your top four period to shelter him. Ever.
And the Tanev example proves my point, not yours. He played 743 minutes with Hanifin this year, next closest was Gilbert at 64.
They didn't, and you can't, play a 6-7 with a top four and shelter him. Tanev proved that out.
