I like the discussion. So out of curiosity, in your mind which good/great defensive forwards get misrepresented by the xGA stat or vice versa. I just always find it easier to think about concrete examples that I can attempt to relate to my eye test.

Two examples off the top of my head are Lindholm, and Sharangovich that were getting praise as very good defensive forwards from both Flames coaches and GMs, meanwhile having average to below average xGA.
