I remember when the Flames tried Housley as a center and he hated it. He mentioned how as a defenseman, you get used to seeing plays develop from a different perspective.
There is a place in the NHL for one dimensional offensive defensemen. It’s all about deployment and accepting that there is going to be some give and take on the scoreboard.
