And what about his defensive play justifies him being shit on infinitely more than other defensemen? How many times did Edler turn over the puck at the opposition blue line? Bieksa had 8 pts in 12 games as a defenseman while logging the most or 2nd most (next to Edler) ice time on most nights and playing against the other teams' top scoring lines.
Like I said, he makes mistakes, but who doesn't, and who are you going to replace him with at his salary and production? Rather than saying, "he was horrible," maybe you should come up with a better argument. You may not "care" if he scores 40 points a season but you are just being ignorant if you think that doesn't affect the success of our team. You have to replace, or at least offset that somehow.
