He isn't very good offensively as a rule and he isn't physical at all (not as big a deal as it once was for sure) but he is just a very very average dman at best...I don't care that he is getting 4 million per but the term seems awful to me for a guy that is no more than a #4 type on a good team...no real room to grow much more and very likely plateaued when considering how long it took him to stick to begin with.

I guess my uninformed position though would include me forgetting how valuable dmen have become mind you.
