Wrong as usual. Meszaros may have had a good regular season but he choked inthe playoffs and made several terrible plays/passes that led to goals against. Carle made fewer defensive gaffes in the playoffs and contributed offensively.
Carle has the potential to be a top pairing defenseman. I am not convinced the Meszaros does.
How about we put it this way. Meszaros, at 20, Played top four minutes, on one of the best teams in the league, was one of the leaders in +/- all year, Played in the Olympics, and played top pair mins when redden went down....
So when playoff time came, the guy was beat, and still played okay, other then the few lapses in the defensive end. If you want to compare Carle and Meszaros, based on the fact that Mez had a bad playoff, then I'm sorry, your way out to lunch.
Both guys are very talented, and both will turn into stud top pairing guys, but Meszaros will get there quicker the Carle, because of last years experience. I'm sorry, but to compare a guy who played over 100 some games, to someone who played at the most 82, is rediculus, and to judge based on the fact that he had a poor playoff is down right unfair to Andrej
