Now the question here in this analysis is:

If defensive specailists are getting all the D-Zone draws, if the guys win it, does it really limit his scoring chances? I mean if he heads staright to the bench?

I guess in the "raw" stats it would on a straight change but on a /60 rate I wouldn't think so.
