Yes, in fact, giveaway and takeaway statistics are literally the only the way to determine the quality of player's performance. It certainly has nothing to do with Chip's poor passing ability, bad decision making, terrible stickhandling, lazy forechecking, or the fact that he's a light enforcer, who literally never sticks up for our guys. Ever. But no, he didn't technically have a giveaway on the stat sheet, so it's all good.
You guys argue that Chip doesn't look horrible (which he does) yet can't seem to point out anything positive that he contributes. So if the best case we can argue for Chip, is that he's possibly not a complete piece of crap, then why keep him around, when we can replace him with a younger, hungrier player, who has higher upside?
