In other words you have no clue what a #1D is.Go back to this message and see what you quoted. I explained way back there what I meant by #1 D minutes without actually being the #1 D.
See the above.
I don't care about your out. And I don't care if strangers on a message board laugh at me without trying to understand what I've been maintaining all along in this thread.
I think you're underrating Petry after the miserable season that Montreal just had and simultaneously you somehow think I am trying to knock Seider down a peg.
I want Seider to have support. Petry could take on a lot of the tough minutes so that Seider doesn't have to take on all of the tough minutes. He would help stabilize the back end when Seider isn't on the ice.
#1D is overall package, not the guy with the most defensive zone starts. Whether Seider gets more oZ or dZ starts depends on whatever defenseman Stevie manages to acquire. If Stevie gets Letang (doubtful, but we've seen stranger things happen) then Seider will be the one getting defensive zone starts.
Keep in mind Seider had 50/50 oZ/dZ starts this past season because of Leddy (54/46).
I don't think Henkka bothered to look at Petry's PP statsDetroit doesn’t need Petry to take on pp1 about duties from Seider. Seider led this team in pp points and was in on about 2/3 of our pp goals. What it needs is a better coach and wingers or a left point partner who can help score some goals.
