I was jk, I know he is good... Erik Karlsson leads the league in shots on goal with 62. This is crazy to me. The next 40 or so players are forwards (Jack Johnson is 2nd on D men with 36). HOWEVER, I'm not a big stats guy since some of the most important players on their teams aren't going to stand out statistically. For example, Dan Girardi is among leaders in hits and blocks the past few years, and will contribute 25-30 points. These players are rare. Karlsson is rare, but in a different kind of way. 78 points last year led D men by far, however, only had 60 hits, 65 block shots. What type of player is more valuable? I know Karlsson would be picked ahead of Girardi 100% of the time, but are there as many GOOD defensive D men as there are good offensive Defenseman? My first post, had to get it out of the way, sorry if it's lacking. Was just on my mind.
