Player Discussion Jake Sanderson (D) PART 3

[Burrowsaurus]

Why do the points matter so much when he is far better defensively than all those high scoring Dmen?

Well I think those other d men are underrated defensively.

It’s also just today’s nhl. 45 points and great defence is great. 80 points and good defence is better

I'm hoping sandy hits 80 points and has great defence. Lidstrom like.

Well if he gets there then Sens have an all time great.

 

[SensFactor]

When it's all said and done. Jake Sanderson will be the greatest overall dman Sens ever had. Kid is only 22.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

The amazing thing with Sandy is the insane developmental curve. There's been no hiccups or major faults, he just keeps getting better and better, and doing it so quickly. And that is almost unheard of.

I don't think this is hyperbole

EDIT: Oh...wait, Big Z was pretty f***ing fine

Just dropped a bunch of year late laughing emotes on Mrblp’s takes.

Not comparing him directly to him.

When is the last time we saw a player this well rounded and elite in every facet of the game?

Lindsrtom?

Is Scott Neidermeyer another comparable?

Edit: nevermind, someone else already brought this up.

 

[LiseL]

Imo not even close, Jake Sanderson is beyond an elite level d-man, when you iso the guy game to game its almost like McDavid playing defense and i don't say that lightly. rivals the the Stone, Alfie, Karlsson picks as an all timer!

Stone and Alfie were very late draft picks, both in the 6th round, so not sure it's comparable to first round picks. But I agree that Sandy and Karl in the 1st round were beauties.

Ok Pierre I see you, now get back to baking pizzas foo!

So you are saying its a bad contract? Cool
way to show you know

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

When Sanderson wins his first Norris there will be no controversy like there was when Karlsson won it.

He is quickly becoming one of my favorite Senators.

1st year: focused on being a reliable defensive presence

2nd year: focused on being gamebreaking offensively

3rd year: Putting it all together

Year 4: Putting up a great playoff performance being recognized league wide as a top 5 D in the league.

Year 5: Leading the Sens deep into the playoffs.

Yeah, right. Any time a Senator wins anything there will always be controversy.

Some Leaf or Hab fan will say his hits per 60 minutes ratio is too low or he doesn't play a full two minutes on every penalty kill or he doesn't win enough face offs.

 

[BankStreetParade]

Kid's a gamebreaker. Elite elite skating, elite play on the defensive side and the offensive instincts are starting to mature. His positioning is on a level very few defensemen are, he tracks the puck insanely well, his hockey IQ is off the charts and he has physical gifts few guys have. What a f***ing stud this guy is. Every time I get to watch him it's a pleasure.

 

[Korpse]

When Sanderson wins his first Norris there will be no controversy like there was when Karlsson won it.

He is quickly becoming one of my favorite Senators.

Ironically if he wins one it will be that he didn’t score enough points and that others with more points would be more worthy.

This just gets me excited for where Sanderson might be at in 4 years when he’s the same age as Makar.

One of the greatest threads of all time for pure uninformed stupidity. f*** man, now I have to go back and give it a look again.

Stone and Alfie were very late draft picks, both in the 6th round, so not sure it's comparable to first round picks. But I agree that Sandy and Karl in the 1st round were beauties.

I think it is comparable, just because if we had f***ed up, we'd have Drysdale and not Sanderson the Great. So nothing much vs perennial Norris caliber player.

Drysdale has plenty of time to be a stud. He is on a rebuilding Flyers team with some offensive upside.

I think he will put up points.

I am still jacked to have Sanderson, but there are a ton of guys from that draft that will be very, very good.

He's ok, but I would say the same. Nothing much vs Sanderson the Great

Safe to say Sanderson will be the best, and the only guy who will try to make the case for it is Stutzle, so eyyyyy.
