[Sun God Nika]

Which Left Shot do you take? Both similar age but play different styles of game. Both on identical contracts

Sanderson, he reminds me of Scott Niedermayer. Silky smooth and smart, rarely out of position (defence first, offence is organic). With all due respect to Owen Powers who has the makings of a good offensive defenceman on his own rights.

Sanderson. Not really close

Sanderson. Not really close

I wouldn’t say it’s not close there production is identical while Power does have more tools in the tool shed

Sanderson's production is going to explode this year because of his PP1 deployment.

Power won't get much chance on the 1st PP unit.

Power doesn't have more tools than Sanderson. Sanderson is better in all zones.

The one thing Power does better than Sanderson is be 6’6. Sanderson is better at all aspects of actual hockey.

I'd take Sanderson but I feel like Power obviously has more potential whether he reaches it or not is another thing

Sanderson played PP 1 last year. Chabot can’t stay healthy.

The one thing Power does better than Sanderson is be 6’6. Sanderson is better at all aspects of actual hockey.

Powers frame allows him to deliver strong hits, clear the front of the net for his goalie, stronger shot velocity, and a better ability to absorb hits. As side from size his skating is still an asset which is a rare combo

I’m a sens fan going with Sandy , but I still think it’s close

 

[MOGlLNY]

Power’s analytics have always been excellent but so far this year he has taken a quantum leap to the eye test.

He has been our best player and it’s not close so far.

He’s also on PP1 with Dahlin as of today

Sanderson may be better right now. But your generalized umbrella statement is only true if you watch the game with your eyes closed

 

[zenator]

Offensively, they are close. Sanderson is way better defensively and is deployed against the opposition's best line. Analytically, the Sanderson Zub pairing was the 10th best in the NHL last season.

I like Power, wish he was on my team, but defensively, very different players.

They are not close offensively

 

[Breakers]

Sanderson’s underlying defensive results are too good to ignore. He was developed so well, and Ottawa did it right to allow him to follow the North Dakota way of staying for a sophmore year.

Go back to his prospect thread. There was about 10 or so guys who kept saying he rose in the draft for “no reason” and didn’t deserve to go where he went.

 

[Coffees]

They are not close offensively

Ridiculous statement from how I see it right now. Why do you think Power is obviously more superior than Sanderson regarding offensively ?
