Can someone explain to me the current value of Brent Seabrook? No... I dont mean trade value, of course not stop being silly.

I mean what exactly does he bring to the team nowadays? Whenever I watch him play he seems to do one of two things. The first has to do with when he gets a puck, it seems to me that whenever he has a chance to play the puck he either A. Shoots it as hard as he can down the ice, hoping for a tip or to hit some player on the way, or he trys to handel the puck and turns it over behind the net/on the corner boards, which always leads to a high danger chance against. An example of the latter can be seen on SJS first goal last night. The second thing he does concerns what he does (or more accurately does not do) when he doesn't have the puck... the guy is a pylon, and there have been numerous times this season that a guy has beat him 1 on 1 directly in-front of the goalie. This guy is slow, and every single time he has the puck he seems to make a bad decision.

This is not even to mention what he does on offense, which is not much at all. He has a big shot, but he can't hit the net or make a pass to save his life.

I know what your thinking, we all know that Seabrook is a bad player, why are you beating a dead horse?

Im beating a dead horse because of all of the Seabrook truthers who say that his leadership qualities make his contract or play somehow bearable!

What leadership qualities has he displayed recently? The hawks have been terrible for the last 3 years, playing inconsistent and uninspired hockey. Not only is his play apart of the problem, but he doesn't seem to keep his teammates honest the way an alternate captain should.

So then what is Seabrook's value to the Blackhawks? In my opinion he should be a 7 million dollar benchwarmer, thanks for helping us win the cups now take a seat.
