oh, i have to disagree... Muzzin has slow foot speed, and his instinct is questionable ...o-zone pinches, and when to drop the box and attack a player on PK ...he is usually the guy pulling everyone else out of position, but, people only see the 2 on 1 he created when the other defender is left to compensate for his mistakes.
dont believe me, watch for that specifically tonight, and i pretty much guarantee you see exactly what i'm talking about.
Weber is also not fleet of foot, but, he's way stronger/meaner, and a huge asset on the PP
Weber is much slower, and not even as physical as Muzzin anymore.
Muzzin is also much better offensively at even strength - over the past 2 years, Muzzin is at a 33pt pace at even strength, top 20 in the league alongside names like Burns, McAvoy, Rielly, Werenski, Girard, Pietrangelo.
Weber has usually received much more PP time, true enough, but more recently he's lost his spot on the PP because his "shoot all the time" PP strategy actually doesn't help the PP work all that well.
