Our own GM sees Reinbacher as a #2 dman, Guhle's offensive game isn't good enough for a 1D on a cup contender, and Hutson/Mailloux defensive game needs to be exponentially better to be that type of player.
The reasoning for Hughes calling Reinbacher a #2D was because he doesn't expect him to run a 1st powerplay.
If you believe a #1D needs to run a first powerplay, then I guess you don't consider Slavin a #1D?
Karlsson and Letang were #1D and they sucked defensively. Hughes was considered a #1D in his first few years in the nhl, and he was probably the worst top pairing dman at playing defense in the league. He was like Matheson, but better offensively and worse defensively. So were Karlsson, Letang, and Hughes not #1D?
