I've always felt that he suffers if they give him too much rope, he can't be or won't be a 3-4 defenseman on any team. But he's a solid 5 in my mind, with that slot (5) never being a perfect player.

He has been the Flames worst dman since the TO game and the back end looked great last night against maybe the best team in the league.
Bottom line he was being over rated in the media big time. Big hits are fun and flashy I will give you. Turnovers and poor coverage though not so much.
Vancouver isn't expecting a bottom pair guy
