Made it up. The guy is good for one awful play per game on avg. If not more.
Kindl's advanced stats are good, yes. The only big difference between say, Kindl and Smith, is their Zone Starts. With Kindl second to only Mike Green in Offensive Zone Starts. Kindl and Smith are nearly identical in C/60. That said, I haven't spent enough energy digging deep on him. I do wonder if there's more to #4 than the eye test has told us.
I'm not sure if you see the irony in this?
Wonder where that myth of "1 bad play in 20 games" is coming from.
he's doing good if he doesn't make one bad play per period
I have to think the advanced stats just aren't there for defensemen yet. At least not for the defensive side.
Otherwise Smith is better than Kronwall and is anyone really going to take that position? ****, Ericsson is better than Kronwall at ES P/60. Kindl has the best Corsi AND is the best suppressor of high danger chances of all our d-men this season. Is that really what we're going with? When the stats are that far out of reality, you have to shelve them for a bit until you find something better.
Why Brendan Smith Really Is That Damn Good

Smith can't really play defense, though. Which is kind of a problem.
He's not. His two icing plays against Boston where he tried to make a deep pass resulted in two goals against.

umm what claypool?
so the centre who couldnt win a faceoff despite his millions, the wingers who dont know how to defend on a defensive zone faceoff in the nhl or the goalie who chose not to stop the puck dont have a role?
Pretty sure the center won the face off and he still iced it

well then how did it end up in our net?
