What fancy stat ? Matheson gave up 11 more goals than he produced at 5v5. Is that good ?
Savard was a rock defensively all year ? What the hell?
So you see no issue in having Guhle, a guy that has never played RD, on the RD to catter to *checks notes* a 30 years old career-bottom pairing D ? Im sorry that sounds pretty dumb.

He was tried pretty "extensively" with 3 different Dmen on his right side and he's failed massively with all three of them. All three of Guhle, Kovacevic and Savard have had insanely better stats when AWAY from Matheson. There is no excuses for his play.

There's one constant between these two pairings.
