Ehrhoff had 23 point, he is real offensive.
Good god, a stats hound. Watch a friggin game or how about checkin his icetime pre-Christmas '05 vs icetime post-Christmas '05 from your precious statsheets.

Weber in my opinion would take away ice as the shut down guy right now in San Jose.
This is the only thing you have to explain (aside from the Ehrhoff thing but that is another post). I can understand and respect your opinion on Weber being the better player over time. However, what makes you think that Weber right now would be Wilson's defensive go-to guy over Scott Hannan, a member of the 2004 and 2005 Team Canada World Championship teams and praised by the likes of Forsberg and Ovechkin as one of the hardest defensemen to play against? That one is just a mind boggler.
I live in Kelowna and watched both of these players play a lot of hockey. Both were great d-men for the Rockets. I think Wilson would use both Weber and Hannan as partners as his shut down d-men right now.
I think that would change if Weber played is San Jose!!(my opinion)Possibly but I think he would actually use him with Ehrhoff. They would compliment each other well. Right now, Hannan is paired with Vlasic, another youngster who is showing amazing defensive poise for a 19 year-old. I don't think he would split them up even with Weber on the team (which would be heaven IMO). Scotty remains his top defender though...no question in my mind.

I am glad to see you did your research. Christian Ehrhoff is a very talented offensive defenseman for San Jose, and the Sharks traded away Tom Preissing because Carle was so good. ALso, I doubt Weber would be San Jose's number one shut-down defenseman, considering that we have Scott Hannan and Kyle McLaren.

That's being compared to Niedermayer?
Wilson doesn't say he reminds him of Nieds, or that he plays like Nieds, just that he does some of the same stuff.
you just nailed it..
Damn, I don't even have to say anything, you just nailed it again!!!!
He isn't.Why is McLaren getting PP time ahead of Ehrhoff?
He isn't.
And I'd also like to show some love for Zidlicky as well. He rawks.
McLaren has played on the PP but only R Wilson knows why. It may be because he is a veteran and RW has confidence in his ability to reduce shorthanded opportunities. Regardless ofwho happens to out on any given PP Ehrhoff and Carle are the #1 and #1A pointmen.The games I watched had McLaren with Carle on the PP.
Why is McLaren getting PP time ahead of Ehrhoff?
Well Zidlicky skates on defense so I guess he does some of the same stuff Nieds does.
Wellwood is only 25... and has 10 points this year.
Sakic is 36 (and has fewer points thus far this year - 6)
So Wellwood is better Sakic?
Okay your point of vew has no point of view... so I am going to go ahead and stop debating with you. case closed.
CarleWho do you think is the better defenseman?
Who will put up more points next year?
Who do you think is the better defensive player?
