No he really isn’t, he does nothing at a high level and had to be sheltered vs Vegas like P. Martin. DW just pulled the equivalent of a girl or guy going back to their significant other that they just broke up with because they were comfortable and content with him/her. This also tells me we are most likely out of the Karlsson sweepstakes. It looks like we’re just going back into next season with the same defense.
If you ever need evidence that hockey is a team game that isn’t won by one player, remember that the team with Connor McDavid on it missed the playoffs, and the team with Dylan DeMelo on it had 100 points and swept another 100 point team.
The comment in the press release about him being popular with his teammates is pointless. Playing a player because he’s more popular with his teammates like Demelo and Paul Martin when there are better options available is detrimental to the team.
