Well, I'd certainly buy the argument that he's been the team's 2nd/3rd best defensive blueliner, but isn't that the problem?
Indeed.
But that's not really an indictment of Stuart's play. IMO, Hejda and Stuart are playing a reasonable brand of $3-4M defense. They do look bad from time to time, as does every single other player on the roster sometimes, as the Avs don't play good team hockey. Who is going to consistently look good on a team that doesn't play well as a team? If we must come up with one exception, fine - let's name EJ, then end the list right then and there.
