A player can be a solid five on five player but not play much PK due to style or other players more suited on the roster.
He isn't sheltered at all.
But once again I'm not saying he's a free and clear top 4 defenseman, he likely is not, but there just isn't anything in his small sample size that says he was sheltered or bad defensively.

If you have a stat other than DZS% to demonstrate that, then I'll happily acknowledge it.
Miromanov saw a regular 5v5 shift with Weegar. Kylington, similarly, saw a regular 5v5 shift with Andersson. However, Weegar and Andersson saw additional shifts in the offensive zone as they were the Flames best offensively from the blueline (hence a lower DZS%) and also got a lot of shifts shorthanded.
