Do you think Weegar is a top 10 D in the league? Do you think Pettersson is a top 20 D in the league?

It's a pretty good model given the data we have. If you have suggestions on improving it I'd like to hear them.
Not anecdotes about what you saw on the ice, because you're probably overrating or underrating play that leads to goal prevention or creation. Any given GIVE_d could be overskating the puck in the corner with 3 defenders in front of the net, or an outright bad play like what Weegar did in the Washington game.
Who do you think are the top 20 D in the league and what are you basing it on? I have time to watch a decent number of Flames games but I am not watching every team play every game.
