Well deserved.
I'm not sure fans will ever appreciate how rare it is to score at a .25gpg pace while being your teams shutdown guy. One of the best point producing AND shutdown guys of his generation. He had basically 8 years as good as the year Doughty won his Norris and never played on a team as good as Lidstrom's worst lineup - ok that may be hyperbole but suspect it is accurate.
Those Nashville forward groups are a disaster, for most of his time there his top centers were guys like Legwand, Fisher, Ribiero. Really never played behind a high scoring forward group his whole career and still was more that .5 PPG. Easily left a few hundred points on the table over his career.
Will always be underrated by fans as the defensive aspect of the game is not something that is really understood or appreciated, fans struggle to put context behind results, and he never cared to self promote.
