Brodie struggled defensively this year, making Hamonic's assignment a tough one on many nights. And the team struggled offensively. Neither of those things make him a bad defenseman, just a guy in a really tough spot (after being traded for assets)

What does this even mean.
"Larsson is an excellent comparison: has been a top pairing guy on bad teams, but should be a 2nd pairing guy. Solid defensively, but not enough offense to be a sexy fan favourite or top pairing guy."
I just said Hamonic is a 3-5D. Your argument is he is like Larsson, who should be on the 2nd pairing (3-4D)??? Isn't that what I just said above...That he isn't a 1-2D?
The Flames have not played him 1 game in the top 2 D spots.
He IS NOT a top 2 D, on any team, that isn't terrible. By this definition any D in the league could be top 4, because you could play anyone there if the rest of the D are bad enough.
Top 4 is such a weird statement anyways. That's 66% of your D.
Do we refer to forwards as top 8 forwards! Janko is a top 8 forward on this team.....
