They're both defensive liabilities. :yeshrug:

Subban and Karlson are great players, but a lowkey hockey pet peeve of mine is everyone willing to overlook poor blueline play just because they score goals. Gimme a lock down defender over a scoring defenseman any day.

Both are young and will become better defenders, but they still have a lot of work to do



Difference is one of them gets criticized and one does not...and Subbans defensive numbers are actually not bad...

Yeah I know. That rant really had nothing to do with either one of them, just hockey in general.

Yakupov just scored!!

Got a feeling that trade is gonna really work out for us. Not every day you just luck up on a first overall pick with the offensive potential he has ...

There's no downside even if he's a bust.

Doughty, karlson and subban play the same game.

A part of it has to do with race and a part of it other two play in non rabid hockey markets

These old dudes suck off Coffey, Orr, boutique, leetch when they were all offensive d men

Rangers win :yeshrug:, I like the fact forward depth especially with a competent 4th line (:blessed: no more Glass). Defense still worries me with :flabbynsick: Girardi and Staal, hopefully Rangers made a move for a D-man to help transition the D into a younger core.

Only way I see it coming out as close to even is he scores 15 goals (which he should) and they get that 2nd round pick.

Coffey had some crazy offensive numbers in his prime Oiler days....you will never see a defenseman ever again put up 100 points in a season.

Matthews, Puljujärvi & Laine all scored in their first games :ehh: obviously Matthews scored 2x as much as the other two combined, but still :manny:
