Same with Weber. They start a ton in the D zone.

Chicago: 34.4% offensive (#4 in the league), 27.9% defensive, 37.8% neutral. Breaks down to a 55% offensive start in ExtraSkater's terms (which ignores neutral zone starts).
Calgary: 30.5% OZ, 32.8% DZ, 36.7% NZ = 48.1% offensive-to-defensive.
Nashville: 30.8% OZ, 33.9% DZ, 36.9% NZ = 47.6% offensive-to-defensive.
Very good point, especially seeing the gap between Nashville and Chicago.
Even taking that into account, Keith is still getting 'easier' assignments compared to Weber, Chara, Giordano etc. But the rate at which he's translating that into positive possession and offense, which maintaining very good work in his own zone is outstanding.
