Engelland played with Brodie a lot as a solid pair in the latter half of last year. So many people try to slot D men based on perception of their talent as individuals
I must remind that Sarich-Gio were lights out down the stretch on a non playoff team, putting up a 16 game streak of not being a minus
D men in the NHL I can say with a decent degree of confidence respect that manner of assessing performance
