Who said that? You are the 1 talking in "absolutes" like that. While games can be similar, no 2 games are exactly the same. Many games are much different on the goalies.
Really, this is the defense now? 110 or 120, who cares? This is far way away from some of the names people were comparing him to a year or so ago, not to mention ANY comparison he's gotten to Dubois since then.
What is the cap hit of
Noel Accari's and the
others "ranked" around Wenny? And lets not act like he's flying up and down the ice making "plays" all over and digging pucks out of the corner. He does it once or twice in a game and his defenders make it seem like he's made a significant impact on the game.
They aren't equivalent, but its not as far off as you want to make it seem. 1st, lets just look at who you are comparing him to. 2nd, even though many of us had "unrealistic" expectations for Nash coming into the year, more than a few people mentioned he could bump Wenny down the depth chart. 3rd, after the 1st couple weeks, Nash, while not looking like a "gamebreaker", has looked a lot better and not out of place and actually FILLED a ROLE on the 4th line that has had a pretty big impact on the team winning games. Wennberg this year has already failed in this role while also "failing" or lacking chemistry with multiple other players.
Say what you want but Bjorkstrand doesn't have anybody within 10 feet of him and there's a HUGE lane right to him.
