Jake Gardiner.  Here is where the analytical rubber meets the road; what you see with your own eyes does not match his stats.  Quantitatively, Jake Gardiner is a top 20 d, as measured by several of the so-called advanced stats, including Inspector Fenwick.

This is way out of synch with what fans see when they watch him play; he is often called a giveaway machine, and is usually good for 1 or 2 boneheaded cross ice passes in his own zone every game.

He plays for a team whose gd is only marginally to the good, so how's he +22 on such a lousy defensive team like Your Leafs?

It's too simple just to say it's a fluke, though luck for sure has something to do with it.  Part is also the fact that his coach tends to start him more often when face-offs are in Your Leafs offensive zone, and by quite a wide %.

Last season, Erik Karlsson had much better advanced stats than did Doughty, as well as outscoring him by over 30 pts.  Yet Doughty got the Norris.  Riddle me that, Batman....
