What are we arguing here - that he sucks? Or that he had a difficult season with the increased responsibilities?

I don't think he's a shut down defenseman and was miscast.
He is a high event transition defenseman that had the worst xGA60 and the beset xGF60.
Not sure that's a guy that should be shouldered with the best of the opposition on a nightly basis. But then I'm not sure with Tanev gone they have anyone (maybe Bahl?) that should be taking that on.
The team lacks a true defender now.
