And you have a tendency to favour defensemen that show some offense, over defensemen who are good at shutting players down (something he is incapable of)

He's not a shutdown d-man but to say he's the "worst defensive d-man" in the league as that other poster mentioned is just false.
He's a good offensive d-man, that can help a PP, and who isn't a liability defensively if used in a role that isn't expected to play against other teams top lines.
