Honestly it's just wasnt Bobber, it probably was most fans in the 2016-2017 season that had issues with Joesph being on defence. The reasons were two-fold with the number 1 reason (for me) was he has the potential to be a very dynamic forward in the OHL and maybe a Top 10 in points. While last yr on D he did move the puck out of the Rangers end quite nicely via the rush but he was more of a liability on defence against larger players.Bobber get off of this Garreffa a forward playing D train. It left the station. NHL teams will invite him as a D, but I guess NHL teams are lining up at your door to hire you as a scout.
Fast forward to this past season and once again he was was jockeyed back and forth with no real position. Every time he was left at forward for a few games in a row he was just becoming into his own then he got moved back on defence again. But near season end and throughout the playoffs his play on defence was outstanding.
Most of us wishes all the players to have a long career in hockey hopefully in pros and if not then in CIS hockey. While you may have a differing opinion on JG playing defence I see him having a lot more yrs ahead of him somewhere in the pros as a forward. By no means is this any putdown of JG, he's a true warrior and team player and all we want for him is to fullfill his dreams and I'm sure Bobber will also echo this sentiment!
