Player Discussion Jake Sanderson (D) PART 3

[Sun God Nika]

Also, it seems like he's finally starting to generate some buzz this season:

basically a Norris worthy 5 game sample size from him.

Man, has Dorion made me look silly with this pick.

His points are a bit inflated with all the team PP goals in a small sample, but he is looking like a top tier D-man already this year. You love to see it. I’m glad he’s turning heads outside of our fanbase already.

Part of the reason our PP is scoring is because he’s so good along the line in terms of keeping the puck in and making good decisions to maintain possession.

I remember when I was saying Sandy would be better than chabot within his first couple seasons and got straight laughed at.

He's also a lot quicker with the puck compared to Chabot. Chabby has this tendency where he thinks he has about 2 seconds longer than he actually does and it constantly forces rushed/bad passes. Sanderson is always one step ahead with anticipation/speed which is critical to a good PP.

I still have my gripes at times with the unit being too slow/predictable, but Sanderson is the right choice for the point. I think there'll be an interesting choice to make once Yak hits his prime (22+).

i figured he'd be the #1 in his first year...but part of that is i am not a member of the chabot fan club at all
