Yup, he sure was. Suter was averaging the most amount of time out of any damn in the league and doing it relatively flawlessly. One could argue that Dubnyk has had such a solid season in part to Suter's play.
Listening to HTM and Boomer before Gio's injury, it was essentially a 2 horse race between Suter and Gio, Karlsson's name was never in the mix. Remember, they were playing like $#!+ 80% of this season... Karlsson was part of that.
But yes, Suter was very much in the mix.

Yup, this always came up about how there may not be a better shutdown guy in the league and a guy who drives possession and logs as many minutes at such a high level as Suter... Except Gio who was also putting up points.
