I actually think its the Dome stats counters that tend to skew it. I've been in a fantasy league for 7 years with Hits and Blocks as categories. Outside of Giordano and occasionally Andersson, no Flames defenseman has been worth having over the past few seasons as they don't get credit for hits/blocks much. I've had them both on my team and watch every game, and will see a hit that doesn't get counted.
Alternatively, a team like the Canadiens for example always seem to have 4-5 D that are roster locks. A guy like Chiarot is extremely valuable as he gets credit for 5+ hits and blocks a night. It's super interesting to pay attention too.
