Low hanging fruit... but if you actually look at his numbers...
First 2 years in the NHL were bad for plus minus. That Panthers team wasn’t that good defensively at the time and pretty shallow defensively. One could argue that due to his draft position and need of the team, he was brought into the NHL a bit too early but started his pro development for the most part in the NHL.
Over his last 5 seasons he has been pretty close to an even player. His style of play (physical) has also caused some injuries which could also impact level of play.
Last year was his worst year in 5 seasons at a minus 14. But that nucks team was really bad as whole.
This year, not that great but he’s certainly been better over the last few years.
