He puts up numbers, no question. But when he is on the ice half the damned game, he does absolutely nothing defensively.
Maybe if you had Peak Chara or Lidstrom back there picking up the slack in front of Peak Hasek or Kipper or something it'd be different....but you dont.
I dont even know how to make it clearer.
