No that is, as you love to say, a false narrative. What it says is that on mediocre bubble teams, he is a solid top 4 Dman. On a top notch contending team, he's skating on the 3rd pair.

It's not a false narrative, that's nonsense. MacDonald as a top 4 defenseman is proven by the facts. There are many legitimate top 4 NHL defenseman that might be moved down the lineup on a top team. There have also have been plenty of players who are equal too or lesser than MacDonald playing a top 4 role on top teams. All you've done is offer speculation not fact.

Let’s all remember that you are “debating” this with someone who went through the wall to defend Randy Jones as a solid NHL dman.

Saying I'm wrong is just rhetoric. The facts support my opinion. You can say I'm wrong all you want but you don't have a leg to stand on.

Remember the kid from Hot Tub Time Machine who lived in his uncles basement on his laptop in the dark?

I’m picturing something here.

Poking and prodding, egging on someone to goad into the argument you so desperately need. I'm concerned for you.

"Is that all you got?
"I'm not done with you yet."

What is says is that he is a reliable top 4 NHL defenseman and has been pretty much his entire career on that dumpster fire Isles and i know the Isles fans applauded the move when he went to the flyers and they had to give up a pick to sign him.

You lost all credibility when you said he is a “legitimate” top 4 defenseman. Had you said he’s in the top 4 because he’s a veteran and we have rookies back there.. likely we could handle it a bit better. But to say he’s legitimate is absurd.

That pass by Giroux to Hagg was perfect.
His vision right now really is at a different level.

I'm surprised Lehner stayed in. Those neck muscles are going to tighten up and it's going to be a female dog for him to deal with.
