Zellweger has been fantastic... feel like if he didnt play that 1 extra game last year hed be in the calder conversation this year(clarke on same boat)
Youre the one having access to advanced stats. Whats the xGF of every defensemen with 22+ minutes. Also, why pick the ducks who, despite sucking, only have -9 goals differentials. Shouldnt you use the sharks?

To be fair anaheims goal differential is only decent because Dostal is god mode right now
MTL and Anaheim have xGoals% both around 44% and similarly young. Closest comp, although as a whole I'd favour MTLs skaters slightly.
All of these stats are public access.
Here's all of em.
I picked the ducks because they, like MTL have 4 young dman they play, and so I thought it was a better comparison. Doesn't make too much of a difference tho, the Ducks have higher "pedigree guys".
If you want you can justify how MTL and SJS are in a virtually identical spot and yet you're convinced every single MTL player is better than his SJS counterpart tho.

Can we just give this thread a mercy rule. Great young d-man, but we don't need this.

1.5K posts and counting in a thread about how a defenseman with 0 goals and -11 is becoming a star. What a website

Finally got a glimpse of the great Lane Hutson in the Oil-Habs game. All i have to say is it's been a long time since PK was in his prime in Montreal.
Perhaps he has Mr. Poster that hopefully could be known as the "man with the yellow hat".

He’s got a lot of offensive talent… the way habs fans hate zegras should translate to Hutson soon enough

Show me the post that made this argument, I’m genuinely curious if this actually happened.
Simon Edvinsson plays on a similarly shit team, with his pairing playing the hardest minutes in hockey, and he's winning those minutes.
No mainboard thread there.
Also that was Hughes 2nd year he was at 55%, not his rookie year.

It wasn't so much the hits, more the puck battles. The guy was dominant in this regard.

He's actually quite reliable defensively as well.
I think you confuse a large diverse fan base with the LA crowds... Plenty of Habs fans appreciate Zegras, only a small minority "hate" him, and those mostly are irritated by the way Ducks fans grossly overrate what he'd potentially be traded for rather than disliking the player himself.
Like Hutson, I think Zegras would thrive playing in front of a knowledgeable and engaged fan base like Montreal. Kid is a competitor, kinda sad seeing his game lose that excitement edge... Players like that love playing in Montreal, and if Z ever does end up there, he'll likely become a fan favorite quickly, like Hutson.
