Your incorrect. I've talked many times about the weaknesses in Carle's game. There are very few NHL defenseman who possess all of the skills that you are looking for in an NHL defenseman. They all have their own blend of skillset. And they all have strengths and weaknesses. Carle is no different.

That's only the shots that get to the net; that's without getting into all of his blocked shots that get taken out of the zone.

Getting an offensive zone draw is never a bad thing. And if the faceoff is lost, I doubt that's Carle's fault. Do you have any factual data to support this? That shows "all of his blocked shots that get taken out of the zone"? Or the data for other defenseman on attempts blocked to compare to Carle. I'd be glad to look at it and discuss it with you.
