I mean it should be inarguable that he's a top 5 D in the league and probably top 3 at any given time and a good shot to win the Norris any given season. If he wasn't injured last year who knows where he'd have ended up. Players like that don't come along often, I thought it'd be years and years before the Rangers had someone even as good as McDonagh on their blueline after they traded him.
But yeah he's not physically imposing or super fast or have a huge slapshot,, he's just one of the best players in the NHL.
It also often shows me that some people who yell about wanting a physical D have no idea how a player needs to use their size effectively for positioning and separating players from the puck, they just want to see someone throw hits and bounce off the boards.
