Your entire take is that he's terrible, which is all hyperbole. It's really not worth discussing when your opinion is rooted in nonsense from the get-go.
The team was a tire fire this season and he was playing with a rookie, despite that, I thought he looked solid for the most part, and brought both size and physicality which our d-core sorely lacked. The criticisms you're trying to use and indictments could be said of many bottom pairing d-men, especially on poor teams.
His numbers last year playing 2nd pairing for 20 games were quite good, as was the eye test. That's because he's a serviceable bottom pairing defender who can step up and play 2nd pairing minutes.
