How? He's statistically been one of the best shutdown dmen 4 out of the last 5 seasons?

"advanced" metrics for defense are more than flawed, they're practically useless since they are all corsi/shot based. He's an excellent offensive defenseman, which massively skews those numbers.

Bad take, he is consistently one of the best defensemen every year in preventing zone entries.

Well you told me things like corsi, xGA, and Def WAR are useless stats so I didn't bother mentioning how dominant he's been in them
