I find analytics tend to underrate defensive defensemen in general. Almost none of them have good possession numbers and yet NHL GM's love what they do. There's a bit of a disconnect between the stats and the value of strong, physical, defensive defensemen. So much of what they bring isn't really quantified in the stats very well.
