Zary has taken a step, and with that has alleviated the regression, but Pospisil seems to be feeling it.

Over time have there been players who consistently underperform their expected goals for vis their actual goals for?
I'm not criticizing advanced stats but my left brain has the biased that there will be gaps where advanced stats will say this player should score more. But said player lacks that extra bit of talent that differentiates a legit scorer from a below average finisher. In time a player like Zary looks like he should normalize to his advanced numbers. A guy like Pospisil to me might be the guy who largely underperforms in terms of production based results, but might have that Shean Donovan outlier year where he out performs and doubles other years totals.
