I just don't understand why people are automatically writing him off (if I had to choose between Lee or Carkner next year, I'd choose Lee).

You have to be kidding? Carkner is one of the toughess enforcers in the league, he clears the front of the net, he intimidates opposition players, he blocks shots, has poise with the puck, makes a good first pass & has a good shot from the point. He is a better defensive defenceman than Lee. Lee is none of those things accept a decent defensive defenceman 6th or 7th d on this team.

I am a Carkner fan & I would add he is much safer than Rundblad & Karlsson with the puck too but they can make an amazing play with the
on occassion.
