Well that isn't correct, Tyson Barrie scored 21 points bloating his stats playing the power play with McDavis. Tyson Barrie is on the 3rd pair because he sucks and needs to play sheltered minutes.
Hanifin scored 13 power play points and was a plus 27. Its a 3rd pair because they play less minutes and sheltered minutes. Hanifin does not need to be sheltered, he is a top pairing dman and will be played in that role this upcoming season.
