Kreider is this seasons, "Zibanejad"
Except Zibanejad was Zibanejad for about 3 seasons of top class centre play
Less than 2 seasons. 18-19: 74 P in 82 Games, 19-20: 75 P in 57 G
The first season is that of a good 1c. The latter is that of an elite player. I expected him to play like 18-19 Zibby and last year be a career year for him.
When he plays his game of speed, hard forecheck and get to the front of the goal, he is a beast.
He's not going to create offense on his own and with that, may run into streaks where the puck isn't bouncing his way.
With that said, he has become a leader on the team and his contract looks like it may be a bargain.
2 seasons of 1C play, and only one season of "top class" play. I think he'll bounce back a bit next year. This year's a wash for him.Except Zibanejad was Zibanejad for about 3 seasons of top class centre play
that is trueIf there is one thing by I know that is sustainable
it’s his 57% shooting percentage over his last 5 games.
