Case in point, Quinn Hughes’s play this season. If we look at EVD (Even-Strength Defense Goals Above Average/Replacement Level) Hughes is 7th worst in the NHL at -3.3 just ahead of Josh Morrissey at -3.1. If we look at Even-Strength Defence Wins Above Replacement (-0.46) Hughes is last just ahead of teammate Tyler Myers (another issue altogether) and lastly throw in 5v5 xGA/60 and Hughes will come out near the bottom once again.
