Perfect, thank you both.
This is what I'm saying... so many people are getting on his case about things they're
perceiving, but aren't actually true. He's not slower than a year or two ago, his shot isn't worse, he hasn't lost his scoring ability, his defense isn't bad, or any of the other things people have mentioned to explain why he's not scoring at a high rate... he's the same player he was in 2017-2018 and there's no reason to believe he's no longer capable of the same level of play. He's still our best offensive defensemen, he's still our best PP defensemen, and he's sure as hell not a 3rd pair quality player. He's getting the Couturier at 3C treatment and his stats are suffering for the same reason Couturiers did.
Some people are being dishonest and have a noted long-standing bias against the guy, but I also think plenty of others are just innocently mistaken and hopefully seeing this will make them realize that they're just remembering wrong.
