Marc Staal, le seul compliment que je puisse lui faire, c’est qu’il n’est probablement pas aussi mauvais en tant qu’humain qu’en tant que défenseur. Et ce n’est pas dire grand-chose.
La catégorie du jour est celle du pire défenseur. J’essaierais d’éviter autant que possible d’utiliser des doublons, donc si vous pouvez résister à voter pour Marc Staal, faites-le, sinon je comprendrai.

I have never created the puck touching someone’s stick quite like I did with Mike. It’s like he was trying to give it away in our zone on purpose, never met a turnover he didn’t yearn to cough up.
It’s wild he won some tournament best Defenseman, came in with wild hype, signed a big ticket and sucked so hard right after. The whole slamming Elias Pettersson into the crust of the earth thing must have taken a toll on him, and he did bring us Horny so I can’t be too hard on him.
Josh brown was pretty bad too
Yandle.
Jason Demers
I’d nominate Anton Strahlman. In his prime, he was solid for Tampa. But he was way past his prime with us when his injuries had caught up to him and he could no longer keep up with the pace of play. It was incredibly telling when he was out there.
I know other contenders such as Yandle and Matheson are tempting, but Yandle at the very least had a couple of seasons where he put up numbers for us offensively and ran the powerplay well and Matheson at least offensive upside as well. Strahlman was a complete liability on his on end and was a complete non factor offensively.
Filip Kuba made you question the threshold for being a professional.
Too much recency bias here. I nominate Alex Petrovic – not only was he bad, he’s the reason we lost Marchessault and Reilly Smith to the Vegas expansion draft because we decided to keep him as the 4th defenseman.

You leave my boy alone
There are so many…
Petrovic, Gudbranson, Kindl, McIlrath all come to mind for recent players.
Riley Stillman
Matheson
Dan Boyle

Keaton Ellerby.
125 games played for the Panthers.
17 points.
-21 +/-.
Averaged just over 1 hit and 1 blocked shot per game for a DEFENSIVE defenseman.
Seems to be a nice guy in general and is starting his coaching career.
Weegar single handedly cost us multiple playoff series
Dallas Eakins the guy had 9 points in 120 games over a 10 year career. He was barely considered good enough to play on the expansion Panthers.
