I always have been convinced he was severely over rated by many on this board among others.
He is a good skater with decent hockey IQ...that does not equate to being a top pairing guy though.
Looks like that is exactly what is playing out....just leaning on him way to much.
1 regulation win for that club in 9 playoff games.....and he is as big a part of why that is as anyone....albeit not alone.

Overrated maybe but not severely IMO. He had his warts but there was a time he was adequate as a #2 paired with Gio but he's almost 33 years old now and it's more of an indictment of the Leafs blueline depth that he's playing over 23 minutes/game in the playoffs than anything else.
