[Gambatese] A Statistical Analysis of the Devils’ Defensive Puck-Moving Woes

This is going to sound nit-picky, but I’m intrigued by Nemec’s chance generation. How is chance generation defined? I’m assuming it is successfully completing a pass to another player, who then shoots the puck where it is either on target, off target, or blocked? I’m assuming it doesn’t take into account when a player doesn’t shoot from a good position, when a pass isn’t completed, or a shot from a rebound?
Nemec being 9th percentile is insane to me. Whilst a contributing factor, it feels like saying just as a product of being hemmed in is missing part of the picture. Are there any Nemec passing stats?
