My theory is that Wings fans on HFBoards have been watching shit hockey players for so long that they have forgotten what a realgud hockey player looks like.
Or...some of us are old.

People definitely shouldn't expect Seider level defense from Edvinsson the first year or two (or three) either.The offense may take longer than Seider's to come along but his defensive game THIS YEAR was NHL worthy.

His absolute strength is the transition game.
I didn't watch Edvinsson a lot this season so I can't form any opinion on it, but according to ep and to the contrary of what everybody else is saying here, his defensive game is still very much a work in progress?
For sure, it's just the small details that Edvinsson needs to refine. Just hoping that the expectations are kept in check because I'm positive that if he makes the team next season you're going to see a lot more rookie mistakes than we did with Seider.But with his size and reach he will be very tough for a defenceman to be beaten. It's so easy to break plays with 3-meter long stick. And when you are not slow. You are damn fast for a big guy. There's no same kind of player in NHL.
This will be so fun to see. Definitely Seider and Edvinsson should be split and then we will have at least 2 great and different pairs. Nice tools for matchups.
It's been a minute since the last update.
Edvinsson is so tall that he makes Soderblom look like a normal-sized person next to him.
Having prospects this tall reminds me of this scene:Edvinsson is so tall that he makes Soderblom look like a normal-sized person next to him.
They're going to make Seider look like a midget.
what do you mean not relevant? Isn't that why we play the game?Not super relevant, but Edvinsson has gotta be the hottest player on this team since prime Zetterberg.

I prefer my hockey plays ugly and gnarled.
When you don't have much to lose you fight that much harder to keep it. Just look at Mike Ricci - ugliest SOB in the game but one of the hardest workers I've ever seen in the game. Same for Rod "elephant man" Brindamour.

Something something 'member that time Ericsson lost his helmet and didn't get back into play because he was too busy fixing his hair to put his helmet back on.I prefer my hockey plays ugly and gnarled.
