Shattenkirk had a VERY surprising comment about his own skills!

Kevin Shattenkirk joined the Caps late in the season, right at the trade deadline. He was considered one of the best incoming UFA to be traded on the market and many team tried to get his services. In the end, he chose Washington and contributed to the team's success right until they were kicked out of the playoffs by the Penguins. 

However, a very interesting comment he made filtered through Twitter in the previous days. 


Shea Weber is known to be a great leader in hockey, there's no denying it. However, not often will player compare themselves to an active player by mentioning they're not on the same level. Shattenkirk's comment is probably aimed around Weber's leadership more than pure hockey skills, but it's still surprising nonetheless.
