Not unexpected for a 3rd overall pick to be placed in a spot not earned.
And he was a fringe Top 4-5 in Florida

LOL jesus anyways. I'm not saying the guy is a superstar or anything.
I saw someone say he wasn't a top 4 Dman unless it was a lottery team.
The year before he played the FOURTH MOST MINUTES of any Dman on the Florida Panthers who weren't a lottery team.
Whatever the reasons were for him playing the 4th most minutes doesn't matter. The FACT is he played the 4th most minutes and they weren't a goddamn lottery team.
It's a fact.
Friggin moving the goalposts and #### just to argue is so annoying. Haha
