poor at defending and his offence doesn't necessarily make up for it. trust i love him hes from my hometown and went to my high school, but i wouldnt even consider giving up freddy for him
Well Montour was doing something right.
Only Ristolainen had a higher TOI/gm than he.
Among all skaters only Scandella had a higher PDO than he and no one had a higher 5 on 5 SV% or +/-.
All this while playing his off wing. I would hardly call that BAD!
He is one of many players apparently did not fit into the Krueger mold as Vesey, Sheary, Rodrigues, Montour, Miller, Hutton, Okposo and lest we forget Skinner all had career worse seasons.
So while you may suggest the entire Buffalo defense is bad, only 8 teams gave up fewer 5 on 5 goals than the Sabres, they were all playoff teams and did not have a blind GK who lost 12 straight while sporting a 4.0+ GAA.
