They don't call him Zemgod for nothing.
Just look at his last 7 years: 18, 16, 15, 18, 19, 18 and 16 points. You can't accuse this guy of being inconsistent.
That's the famous Yakupov year, poor top end but still some very solid guys overall (Lindholm, et cetera). The thing is Buffalo took Grigorenko two spots in front of Girgensons which makes it even more disappointing overall. They could have had someone of either Tom Wilson, Hertl, Teräväinen or..... Vasilevskiy.
But what's the highest up in the line-up Girgensons ever played on a consistent basis? Was he ever a second liner?

Nah, it isn't just you. It just sounds progressive and hip to say he's fine and you're ignorant "lol".
As a Sabres fan, he's fine for what he does but he definitely is a disappointment in terms of the pick that we spent on him. He's got hands of cement and a lousy shot but he's a good character guy so it's not like he's bad for the team. But at the same time, it's bizarre for people to not call him a disappointment. He was supposed to become a Kunitz-type or someone who could at least contribute offensively and that has never been the case.
