He makes a lot of really slick passes and jumps into the play to provide options better than any of the other dmen, but man (frank) he's not that great his side of the red line.
Could be the system, could be the player, probably a mixture of both.
As bad as people like to poop on Letang, Green, Karlsson, Subban, etc. for being bad defensively, they aren't really that bad. They're average to better than average defenders but they aren't bad.
You know who is really good? Like way too good? OEL. Holy piss nuts he's nutso good. - DTF69

for sure a mixture of both. I still think he can be a competent defender at some point. but right now he just aint. and he's soft.
agreed whole heartedly about subban and letang, but green and karlsson are pretty bad defensively.
and yes. oel is ridiculously good |

He does something that I love to see defencemen do. Instead of being a (frank)ing retard like Edler and try and shoot the puck so hard it goes through people, OEL takes some heat off and just wrists it to make sure it doesn't get blocked so the other team doesn't break out 3-on-1 because Edler is stupid. |

Green's board play is not very good but he holds his own well enough and is pretty adept with his stick. Same with Karlsson. |

karlsson dawdles defensively all the time. I don't think he was ever super strong defensively, but he seems to be even worse post injury. im not sure if its head for the game, or timidness or what. its just funny to watch sometimes
and green is a great skater, much better than Schultz, but like Schultz, he;s super weak downlow. and he just seems to make retarded decision after retarded decision.
not really hatin. both guys id like to have. just sayin |

Yeah, neither are great at the meat and potatoes but they defend well enough off the rush and do a good job at breaking up passing lanes. You can power through both guys if you play a more of a power offence but you don't have a lot of teams out east that run that type of offence. |

I forgot Enstrom and Brodin. I thought they were Fins. A little early for Lindholm. |

Some of my guys have started dropping like flies too. One of my goalies is out I think and I have both my IR spots full with more injury woes popping up. |

Oh yikes. I'm without Giordano, Burrows and was without a few others but I dropped them for guys I could play. Nabbed Arcobello, Santorelli and Filpulla who've been playing well enough.
I think its you vs me next week. |

And you dropped Burrows? If Torts plays him with the Sedins he's a 30 goal scorer with some decent hits and pims. |
