It's amazing how somebody so wrong can be so confident in themselves and continue to dig in despite all the evidence against them.
Chychrun scored the 8th most goals of any D over the last 3 seasons, despite missing significant0 games. He's also in the top 30 in pts per game by a D despite playing on Arizona for most of that time. He's also currently scoring a pt per game. He's very clearly a threat to score.
Chabot is also in the top 30 in pts per game over that period, despite Ottawa being mid rebuild.
Even Sanderson was top 60 in scoring as a rookie D last year, he;s also got 7 in 8 so far this year.
How many teams have three guys that were in the top 60? not a lot.
Our D is demonstrably a threat to score, they are currently doing it after all, and have done it in the past.
