thejazz97

When we finally make the playoffs again we will want a player like Gudbranson on the back end to clear the crease and be a presence over a 7 game series. Tanev, Edler, Holm, Pouliot, Stetcher, Juolevi, Biega or whoever else is back there will get pushed around for 7 games. People who want Guddy gone are forgetting that the rules change in May.

@Fateless I can - we are one of the best teams in terms of ga/60 even though the shots are up a bit (suggesting a positive effect on lowering quality scoring chances), and individually he leads the team in on-ice save percentage at 96.4% (https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/g/gudbrer01.html)

I'd also argue many times he's going for that hit, not making up for perfect positioning. Its very hard to do both. 

^That can actually be used against him. A save percentage of 96.4 is unsustainable.
