ii agree with erhoff likey the worst of the top 4 in terms of 5v5 play.. he kinda reminds me of that old colarado defenceman all offense no defense that retired a couple years ago... john michael Lyles? but he was good because of his deployment all OZ starts and TOP PP1 play... Brown had a better shot for sure even Salo and Edler did. but erhoff was a great playmaker and a above average stickhandler... he was great passing the puck around and pinching because he was fast and was a main reason our PP was so good. when erhoff was Out it was not the same, Salo mostly replaced him but that was often lead to alot of slapshots from the point, instead of puck movement down low to the twins
Bieksa was likely just a little too less skilled, shot wasnt the hardest, he wasnt the biggest, he wasnt the fastest, he was just solid but got burned from time to time... bieksa ne
