On any given night, it’s a toss up as to whether Gustafsson or Robert Hagg is the worst defenseman being played, which often leads to different problems given they struggle at different aspects of playing defense in the NHL.

With Gustafsson, however, his mistakes are more obvious and glaring given his role as an offensively-minded defenseman.
