Player Discussion Jake Sanderson (D) PART 3

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nice

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

He's a freak athlete and a gym rat, I don't think it will be too much of an issue tbh.

No harm in having him spend a few games watching from the press box during the season. I'd say a 75-game regular season would be a good projection (knock on wood he's 100% healthy all year).

Nice

Starts off with great body position to get/protect the puck, then great footwork, and tops it off with giving himself enough time and space to make an excellent outlet pass. Got to love it.

Nice

Don't know that I'd call a floating backhand pizza to the center of the ice a "formidable break out pass".
But if it works, it works.

It is nice that he's aware of that elusive 3rd dimension.

 

[Senscore]

God I am so ready for more childproof, paint by numbers, simple and effective defending.

No more Mr Toad's wild ride please.

That account is pure hyperbole. It'll be like, "Jarventie blows up defenseman, steals puck from his corpse, dekes out remaining skaters and goes back-hand top shelf", and the vid is of Jarventie dumping it in and changing.

Forgive me if it's been answered (I didn't want to read through all 13 pages), but can anyone explain why Sanderson's contract didn't "slide" like Greig's for example? A year of Sanderson's ELC has been burned despite not playing a NHL game yet.

Sanderson is arguably best prospect in all of hockey.

Bless your heart

I assume you think he's being a homer.

Just curious what you think of Sanderson, given you think his statement is wrong/bad in some way.

He signed his ELC in his 20 year old year so no slide.

Bless your heart

He's like the Nick Robertson of defensemen

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Bless your heart

Lol, don't take my opinion for it.

He was voted 3rd best prospect in all of hockey by HF.

Bless their collective heart:

He thinks the statement is bad because he didn’t name Jeremy Bracco

Lol, what are you doing here? How embarrassing.

Bless your heart.

This is going to be a fun post to bookmark and look back on. -MuadDib

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

I thought he was our best player tonight.

 

[Sweatred]

I thought he was our best player tonight.

Close for sure - made a few mistakes but also made some of then best plays of the night.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

His skating and even some of his passes remind me of EK.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

He obviously needs to adjust to the NHL but watching this guy skate is awesome.

 

[DrEasy]

OK, I only watched the last period of the game, but I am now ready to join the Cult of Sanderson.

 

[bicboi64]

His skating is smooth af. He went deep a few times and was able to get back in time to cover his man. I hope his skating can get even better, almost Makar/EK level. Seeing Makar break someone's ankles today with skating alone makes me want that from Sanderson

 

[Sweatred]

Sanderson’s elite ability is using his legs to control games - we saw the first glimpses of that tongiht and you could see him gaining confidence as the game progressed.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Sanderson plays every game like last night and he wins calder. Like I said before, he's even better than what he's shown. By December he will be unanimously considered top 4 D league wide and considered a top pairing D man by season's end.

Have no idea what you're talking about. Played like a top 4 at minimum and was our best D.

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

I can’t get over how good he looked. Beyond impressed with his game.

He rushed several plays and made a couple questionable reads. Played a nice game overall but is obviously just getting started in the NHL.
