Nobody ever hailed ZAR as Bergeron.
ZAR is a very good defensive player on the PK and at 5v5. That's all the stats ever said. And you can watch his line today. Bleuger and Tanev were not performing how they are now with ZAR.
I'm sorry, but there was a stats crowd love fest with ZAR and your post doesn't even come close to describing it. He was absolutely hailed as one of the premier defensive players according to advanced stats. Because that's what they showed. The eye test showed something different. The 'stats are wrong crowd' isn't anywhere on this thread. Most people understand stats, like anything else, are limited in what they can tell you about any player. The stats need to be understood in context along with a variety of other factors.
