Stanley Cup champions typically have a true #1 dman like Hedman, Letang, Doughty, Keith…
You can call them 1st pair quality if you want but fact is the failed miserably in this playoffs. I would say they are the biggest disappointment after Markstrom

A weak Oilers team? The same team who has 2 players having a historic playoff run scoring points at will
There are a lot of guys who played more minutes who didn’t score 50 and 48 points last season.
Take a 5 game sample size and throw out the other 89 games then?
Neither guy is a franchise D but neither guy is even paid like a first pairing Dman. Both are great value for the contract and have upside to get better as Dmen typically do no peak until their 25-30 year old seasons
