Ok I like like lindholm a lot. but my point is that meat and potatoes defencemen usually turn out to be good dmen. Where players with high potential that are little usually flake out. Not every great defencemen plays in the mold of niedermeyer, Coffey, Keith or doughty. Especially in the modern era the most effective defencemen are big, fast, shut down types like Suter, Weber, and pietrangelo who use both size and speed to control the game.
