Habs vs Wings

[Pavels Dog]

Nothing delusional about it. Edvinsson is the same size as Hedman and is objectively playing better defense than Hedman was at the same age. however he is not even in the same galaxy as Hedman offensively and he’s almost certainly not going to get there either.

Hedman at 18 in the SHL: 21 points in 43 games
Edvinsson at 18 in the SHL: 19 points in 44 games

Hedman at 21 in the NHL: 23 points in 61 games
Edvinsson at 21 in the NHL: 21 points in 50 games

Hedman currently - 25 EVP
Edvinsson - 20 EVP

Totally fair and reasonable to not expect Edvinsson to develop into a top PP QB like Hedman did, but I have no idea why we have to pretend they're not "in the same galaxy".

You’re right. Really just limiting my expectations but the stats are similar so far.
