It was "top 3-4", i.e. second pairing. Which is where MacDonald has played this entire decade under multiple coaches. So if you think Hakstol is the only coach who views him that way, you're wrong. Or just look at Girardi getting a top 4 role (ahead of Coburn) under Cooper this year. The league has a lot of 2nd pairing dmen with poor possession numbers.
The coincidence between those two teams he played for this decade?
They haven't won a single Playoff series with him in the lineup.
He's only played in 23 Playoff games in his 11 year career.
Sucks for him.
