Gudbranson hasn't shown enough yet to call it a good signing. But I think he's shown enough to prove that it wasn't totally out to lunch.

Yeah I'll be one to eat crow already on that.
I'm not sure he's had a 3 game stretch like this in his career, he's been legitimately great.
I think it really does just show that system and how a d-man is slotted means so much to their effectiveness.
Any d-man can look bad when they are being played above their skill set, but slot them in the right role and it can work.
I really hope he can keep it up.
