Because he doesn't flat out suck on d?Klingberg. Can't believe this thread went this long without his name being thrown out.
He's not great but he's nowhere near the company of some of these names

How much of him have you seen? He’s played less than 40 games in the NHL.immediately thought of tobias bjornfot
… so he sucks defensively unless he has a great DFD to clean up after him?Quinn Hughes didn't have a spectacular season defensively, but I wouldn't write him off just yet. He missed Tanev a lot this year, and looked lost defensively without him.
And play more minutesthey're just lazy wingers who don't want to forecheck
… so he sucks defensively unless he has a great DFD to clean up after him?
Anyone remember playoff hat trick hero Andy Delmore?

Hughes, Karlsson, Fox
What happened to “Hughes is a tier above”?Hughes, Karlsson, Fox
Anyone who does not remember him. Google Stefan empty net goal he was the D who screwed up
I always felt Shattenkirk was a weird pick here and just kind of a meme. He's a bad turnover or two that just kind of turned into something people just say because they've heard it.
Since 2012, he ranks in the top 60 amongst all defensemen (3000 mins played) in goals against per 60. For somebody so atrocious defensively, he's been around for ten years and opponents can't score on him.
You know what the problem is with Shattenkirk? You can't show me one significant timeframe over the past decade where his even strength OFFENSE is above replacement level.
He has a good a shot and was really good at QBing the powerplay in his prime, but at 5v5 he's basically the opposite of what people say he is.
Karlsson in his prime would play like the last 5 minutes of playoff games when defending a lead.
This is a great thread to filter people who don't know what they are talking about.
San Jose EK is bad aka the current version, it aint 2015 any more. He is slow to get back to his own after a turn over forcing a pass, avoids any and all physical contact, out of position or 2 seconds too slow, and timid with the poke check. EK65 is playing like a 3 million dollar PP specialist atm.

Came here to see this.Marc-Andre Bergeron
Torey Krug.
Still drives me nuts that we signed him and long term at that.
