Was Seabrook a excellent defenseman? Yes. But, the hype he arrived with, had him as a slam dunk HOFer in the making. I do not think that he lived up to that hype, nor do I blame him for that hype.
I don't see him as among the all time great NHL defensemen, but, I am fully satisfied with his place in Blackhawk history, and wish him well in his retirement.

If anyone is disappointed in the career of Seabrook, that has to be on them. He is likely a near HOF candidate. He was instrumental in 3 Stanley Cups. He was especially good in the playoffs.
