Player Discussion Jake Sanderson (D) PART 3

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Again, I will never judge Sanderson for as long as Hamonic is playing with him.

Sanderson is carrying an elephant and still doing a great job--all things considered.

The difference between Sanderson alongside Zub and Hamonic is almost like watching two different players. It's wild.

He may have played himself out of a spot on the USA roster with this last stretch too. Completely unfair - but the USA brass have a tough decision to make and a lot of people to fill that spot.

Do all teams have 6 strong/good defenders in their lineup? Or, is it more typical to have a weaker, not so good defender on the 3rd pair on most teams?

I get the appeal of finding a whipping post, but I think we have more than one issue with just one player.

most teams usually dont have their best defender play with their worst defender. Even if you consider the hate he is getting to be unreasonable

also the hate he is getting isnt unreasonable. https://www.reddit.com/r/BottomLeftHamonic/

unless the belief is that sanderson suddenly got really bad there is a common factor

Alledged superstar d man and prime PP we had…38 points last year

And he was playing with zub lol.

He is what he is. Hopefully yakemchuk is an offensive juggernaut

Only way the Sanderson-Hamonic pairing will work going forwad is if Sandy developed McDavid/MacKinnon level acceleration and can skate from one end of the ice to the other.

Green is killing Sandy here. Put JBD with Sandy.

i cant tell if your being serious here, second year in the league and he got 38 points

hes on pace for 54 points now

He was never going to be a karlsson type point producer, but 50 point production isnt out of the question for him. For reference only 20 dmen got 50 points last year.

An offensive juggernaut that could play defense is the dream. But as a team we need defense more.
