Pretty simple, who's the better defensive player.. looking for a statistical and eye test comparison from those who are better at using and understanding defensive/ advanced stats than I am.
4 more ES points in 4 more games for couturier. Not the biggest margin, but ok.
ZS. 59.1 defensive zone starts for barkov. 56.8 for couturier
Barkov has almost 30 more takeaways, has a better FO% that couturier, and Leads all nhl forewards in stick checks.
Barkov has been on the ice for 7 PP goals against. Couturier for 23
Feel free to look up QOC though. Couldn’t find that with a quick search. Seems your facts are letting you down.
This would suggest Barkov has made the most stick checks/defensive plays in the league, 7 vs 23 pk goals against advantage Barkov.
I'll also quote this here;
So= Barkov, most defensive plays, worse zone starts, better on the faceoffs, and so far AINEC on pk.
the poll is 6-5 for Barkov. seems close to meDefensively? It's pretty Clearly Couturier.
Poll would be closer if it was overall
For now... looks like a lot of Euro fans and Panthers fans have voted.. once the numbers start getting compared it'll be clear, despite the votes, which. I'm confident will be in Couturier favor even though he's not as popular. Hard to argue with tangible evidencethe poll is 6-5 for Barkov. seems close to me

Barkov.
Wow, shocking. Each day you lose more credibility as one of the greatest scientists of all time.
What's shocking about Barkov being better defensively? Please stop following me around, it's becoming concerning. Thanks.

I'm a Flyers fan, I post in Flyers threads. You come to post against every single Flyers player, I can comment If I choose to do it.
No I don't. Stop lying, another troublesome trend.
I might be in the minority, but I take Provorov 3rd overall, ahead of Werenski, Marner, Rantanen etc.
I've never once seen you say one positive thing about a Flyers player, you come in and vote against and leave. lol. Stop taking it so personal anyways, It's a forum. Original post was a joke.
your support for Couts is... lots of Euro voters and its pretty clearly Couturier.Sooo... I'm seeing votes for Barkov but nothing supporting him as the better defensive player, interesting
Care to leave any tangible evidence to support your claim?your support for Couts is... lots of Euro voters and its pretty clearly Couturier.
I come into Flyers polls just to see what you will say because i know it will be homer based and incredibly stupid. Cant say im leaving disappointed
