It was a contract year for Cam York and, in the eyes of many fans, he really seemed to struggle throughout the season. You know it was bad when the most memorable moment of York’s year was the reported disagreement he had with head coach John Tortorella in late March that led to Tortorella’s firing.
However, if we look at some of the underlying metrics, York’s season might’ve been better than meets the eye. He may not be the “offensive defenseman” we were sold when he was drafted, but he’s become a legit blueliner in his own right.
