teammates' average xGF%
49th percentile · higher = stronger linemates
opponents' average ice-time share
88th percentile · higher = faces more top-line minutes
Faces tougher-than-usual opposition.
QoT averages the season xGF% of Guhle's 5v5 teammates; QoC averages how much of their team's ice time Guhle's opponents get, so a high QoC means facing top lines. Both are weighted by time shared on the ice, lean on last season for small samples, and are ranked within forwards or defence.
