Nah, it's unfortunate, but Fowler is the only real option to play against other teams top lines right now, which absolutely isn't ideal. He's good, but he's also not good enough to be the #1 option (Unfortunately), especially without any sort of support.
Sure, ranking players by any stat has limitations.
But on-ice xGD is about as good as any other.
Heh. Not when it's the only measure. In that case, it has significant holes, which makes total sense because it boils one player down to the expected exploits of six players based on a narrow formula that misses a lot. But it's cool, it's an "I'm just sayin'" thing.

It’s supposed to be a relative measure of when that player is on the ice vs when they are not. So, if teammates get better when you step over boards, this is intended to capture that. It’s similar to xGF% but doesn’t ignore ice-time.
1- There's no relative measuring factor in on-ice xGD, bud. It just measures when they're on the ice.
2- ... along with capturing when they drag a player down or make mistakes that reflect on him in this stat.
But again, it's no big deal. I'm just amusing myself.
No idea what you are saying here, but if you have a better stat to use this early, I am all ears. This one is about as good as they get to use this early since it will usually mute out noise (like lucky bounces). I have described it in the past, it’s the fancier +/- (which was in, then out, now in again…but just called something else).
Look at recent history and there is a strong correlation to successful seasons. So for me, it works.
