Interesting discussion on Gardiner. IMO he hasn't had a good year, hasn't made the next step defensively Frank E wants, and hasn't been able to offset it offensively.
I don't have any issue with citing possession statistics, and if Carlyle's time here taught us anything it's really important. But are there advanced stats that measure a defenseman's play in his own zone? I haven't seen any but maybe there are some? If there are, then you have to put that in the balance with citing Gardiner's possession stats.
