Player Discussion Jake Sanderson (D) PART 3

[Micklebot]

Sanderson hasn't been great for a while now, he needs to step up his game and be our best Dman.

I thought Zub comeback would would produce greater results on Jake

Jake just asked to do way too much.
At 6 million he would be the best contract in the nhl. At 8…gets dicey.

I’m not too worried about Sandy, he’s a smart enough player to figure it out soon. Don’t forget he is still very young and he is playing against the top players in the league every game.

Not a single point at even strength so far this year. One of only 4 guys (Perron - 5GP, Zub - 4GP, Hamonic, Sanderson) on the team without an EVP.

I certainly thought it would help.

He was just ok though. He's -8, worst on the team, I know that's a crappy stat but it still stings.

 

[Senovision]

Jake Sanderson 1.9 shots on goal a game. And 4.5 shot attempts a game.
Thomas Chabot 2.5 and 5.6.
Just for comparison.....The leader in the NHL shot attempts category is Quinn Hughes with a whopping 9.2 attempts a game! That seems outrageous!
He gets 3.8 of those shots on goal each game.

You get the feeling that as Jake Sanderson goes, so will the team. And he ain't goin'

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Ya, I'm starting to feel like this guy might be part of the problem. I don't mean that in that he's not better than most, he clearly is, but if this team is expecting him to carry the load offensively, I'm not sure he's that guy. Makes you wonder if bringing in an offensive specialist for the bottom pairing beside Kleven and PP spot duty would make sense.

Agreed. When he's on his game it looks effortless.

Chabot and Jensen pairing have been flying, I don't think that's and issue, the problem is he's gone from 2.68 GF/60 when on the ice last year to 1.08 so far this year, that won't last. If he's even at 2.3 GF/60 well below last two years, we're doing much better.

Do you think that's maybe why they had Addwhatever on a PTO?

That sounds promising. He's clearly trying, and I like his confidence with the puck, but the last 5 games or so he looks like things aren't working for him and has made some uncharacteristic mistakes.

Seemed like it to me. I like the idea of a different look from your 6/7 that you rotate, but JBD and Hamonic are both pure defense type guys, or, well, they try to play defense lol.
