Honest question. What do you two, or anyone else with this opinion, see that leads you to believe he Can't defend?

From my POV;
He isn't an elite defender but far from terrible. I believe most stats back that up.
He has a high number of giveaways but almost every offensive Dman does. As a comparison he had 12 move 5V5 giveaways than Makar, 6 more than Hanifan and for fun, 13 more than Broberg.
I dont know where to find the stat but apparently he led the league in literal puck possession. When you have the puck that much you will have higher turnovers.

The "can't defend label" seems to be based on the fact that some of his turnovers are world class screw ups. I hate those as much as the biggest Bouchard hater. There also is a media narrative that I think is driven by his face. It looks like he is high and/or barely awake which gives the appearance he isn't putting in full effort.

Some of the things are the frequency, and game situation with the goofs.. poor adjustment for risk.. and score.. net front is poor.. same as Nurse.. men and sticks don't get tied up.. we probably have different POV's which is OK.. the hope the Oilers are taking is that #2 removes those issues out of his game. Fans hoping too.

Here s a few low lights someone put together.. turn off the sound
