That's why you sell high before you overpay or lose him for nothing.

He made more great defensive plays tonight than the entire top 4 combined. I know that isn't the case every night, but more often than not he does a good job in his own zone. He gets beat sometimes and it looks bad, but we forget the other times that guys like Andersson, Tanev, Weegar, or Hanifin make sloppy turnovers resulting in a goal against.
