The funniest thing about the whole article is the prospect link to the right of the article. Must admit I was curious to how the coyotes viewed Keith Yandle. Clicked on the link and they have him rated (scale 1-10) as a 6.0 c. Not bad.
Then I clicked on the link to explain the ranking and here is the funny part
wait for it
It starts off the description of a 6.0 ranking as basically a player that is generally speaking, players whose game is defensively-oriented. HA HA
Have they ever seen him play?Hell I heard that during the victory parade for LOSING the memorial cup he was in he same vehicle as Josh and had to be introduced to him

Have you ever seen Yandle play? The defensive side of his game improved immensely over the year. You make it seem like he was a liability on the ice.

To be honest, I only saw Yandle play against the mooseheads where they didn't really need defensive play, and in the memorial cup(on tv) where he was guilty of some bad give aways, including 2 big glaring ones in the final game ( goals 2 and 4). When I think of Yandle I would compare him to a Paul Coffey, not exactly what I would consider a Defensive specialist And yes I consider him a liability in his own end, but he more then made up for it in the offensive zone

Who ever said Yandle was a defensive specialist? He's explosive offensively and above average defensively.
