Few players of Girgensons' age are as good defensively. His offensive upside is still there, he's just not going to reach it if he's used on the 4th line, that's all.

And to the poster a few ahead...he still is captain material down the line. He just won't ever get it over our current core.
If he's not going to get the playing time/linemates in Buffalo, especially with all your injuries, where do you think he'll get it? I don't know of any team that's just going to hand someone minutes or play them in the top 6/top 9 (depending on how the team views its lineup). Maybe a top draft pick that stood out in camp or revered veteran & core player who's played well with the team until this season but not anyone else.
