He isn't useless, he just shouldn't be on the 1st pair, he's there by default

Well what’s his upside? No offensive production. Not a physical player. Not great defensively. Can’t get guys out of the crease with his size...

I think you're a bit negative. he's not bad defensively, usually his positionning is good. but yeah, not physical and no offense. (frank)ing Jordie Been had 5 goals last year!!

Considering his age and what's been asked of him, I think he's a smart player. But he's having a rough night for sure

Pete won't like this, but they need a lefthanded Petry

his upside is that he'll be a guy who can retrieve the puck and move it out quickly. not sure if you've watched this team through the first 2 weeks but only Petry can do that right now.

Well I said “not great defensively”. Let’s just say that if he were to be traded, I wouldn’t give a poop.

takes time. look at a guy like Petry. took him a good 5 years in the NHL to become what he is. Mete, if he ever does arrive, will take time.

Exactly. While the league is getting younger, developing a good dman still takes more time

he'll eventually get passed by another youngster imo. may take a few years since they don't have a lot of LD in the pipeline, but that will happen. he stopped progressing. he's not better now than he was 2 years ago.

I agree there's a lot of room for improvement, especially his offensively play... he has yet to score a goal, but he's still sound enough defensively to do a decent job, on most nights at least. He might have stalled but it's early to tell imo
