Hes >40, playing for 20ish mins, mostly paired with Dman who thinks hes playing forward in a no-hit
rec-league. Also his previous team had forwards that actually know that playing D is not just a "social construct". To add to that, injuries have left us with the Lollipop Guild whos combined bench & deadlift probably doesnt equal Charas.
Yet he still hits & plays harder than all the D (except Dillon). Not to mention, had more hockey IQ than all of em before he got drafted.
I doubt it is anyones, including his, preference to be logging this many minutes, but, with injuries & Orlov being a dumbass, and underperforming, we dont have a choice. But when at 100%, hes our best Dman
