The problem with Bouwmeester was ironically similar - it was also utilization. You have to recognize what a player is and put him in a position to succeed
You’re not going to win when he is *the guy* getting the top minutes and toughest assignments.
He is great in the top 4, but not clear cut #1 where all the other D are a step below. Also Brent’s style was awful for his skill set
Also agreed that Hartley restored the player and value
Glad to see him succeed with proper situation and deployment
