They were among the top 3 or 4 pairings in toughest competition in the league, with higher than normal defensive zone starts. And yes, still had very elite numbers, particularly in reference to the team.
Incredible season for an exceptional pairing

Agree to disagree then. Johnson is a useful defenseman IMO.

I do have to say that maybe our view of Tom Gilbert is a little biased due to his Oilers past.

This article I found when searching the details of his trade was interesting.

Not really a top 4 guy, but could be a good bottom 2 guys with a RH shot.
