Is it me or is RW reading this chart wrong? It is not a strictly QOC chart, its a % difference of QOC and expected QOC...Dumo is not getting the 10th toughest minutes. Hes getting the 10th furthest deviation from his expected QOC based on his own skill level.
Chris Tanev and Jake McCabe are not getting the 6th and 7th toughest QOC in the league..

No if you read the second tweet, the QoC is measured relative to the expected QoC based on their ice time. Some people on here have had this conversation waaayyyy back, because hockey has fluid line changes, it's actually kind of tough to give your players the level of competition you want to. In practice, it kind of works to match up certain lines against certain lines, but statistically, QoC evens out as players finish their shifts against different lines because the opposing coach pushes back and tries to take the matchups your coach is looking for away. So in some ways your QoC is closer tied to ice time than it is to deployment, since you're more likely to see stronger competition the longer you're on the ice than you are if you're only there briefly.
Regardless, I'm not sure how much I'd read into this stat because it may be purely luck based.
