Those are some of the best 2 way forwards in the league. You need that in your middle 6
What? Horvat can't play defense to save his life, his only justification is that he puts on a pretty good offensive showing too, considering the tough matchup minutes he plays. But no, he gets burned *a lot* in his own end. Kapanen is fast and a little physical, but not good defensively. Pageau I'm mostly annoyed about cause he's gone on a scoring / high shooting percentage streak and people think he's good all of a sudden.
I know I never convince people of this, but if you take anything away from this, please dig into any defensive number and Bo Horvat. He's just not good at it. Again, he's a fine player, he scores himself in those tough minutes, but it has nothing to do with defensive ability.

I thought ppl always raved about Horvat as a very good 2 way player.

Yes, they do. And they're wrong. I can sense it - you're hearing me out on this one. You might truly be blessed enough to see the light and that Horvat is a decent player but none of that depending on his defensive ability. Cometh hither, child, step into thine blesseth light.
