Ryan Suter vs Shea Weber

[Regal]

And here we go, lets see Weber completely lose this poll for no particular reason other than him being a Hab

It's bad enough the number of Leafs fans who say this type of nonsense

 

[Binister]

Suter. The guy has an engine that never stops while also having a good passing game.

 

[Wabit]

If they were both healthy and fully recovered, like no injury ever happened, I take Suter (my vote).

Since both are injured, whoever recovers the best will be the winner.

Weber played at about his career pace (50 pts, 20 goals) with a busted food for the entire season. I don't know the answer to the poll (I said Weber out of bias) but the idea he's done is such a silly talking point on here.

Right now- Suter
Peak- Suter
Career- Weber

Since this poll is "for the next season", I picked Suter, easily...

Ignore Salaries

Their salaries are almost exactly the same....

Weber is losing the poll because he’s not as good as Suter. Plain and simple.

Suter, not particularly close either.

Suter was the superior player back when they played together on Nashville, and he's the far superior player today.

Is that why Nsh chose to give a massive, never ending contract to Weber and let Suter walk? If you look for old threads, I'm sure Weber was HF's darling defenceman circa 2010 to 2015. Got robbed of Norris in 2010-2011, impenetrable defense, Weber vs Malkin proposals, best player of '03 draft, blah blah blah. Always thought Weber was massively overrated in Nashville and is now criminally underrated in Mtl. Played with Beaulieu, Emelin, Markov ( for about 10 games), and Jordie Benn/ 19 yo Mete (26 games this season) with the Habs. Don't think you can ask any more from Mountain Man tbh. Same thing will happen to Doughty. Overrated now and will be underrated next year when he joins the Leafs.

Both good, I rather have Weber, Weber was hurt last year was still on pace for 50 points. The year before they came in 5th and 6th in Norris votes, Suter 5th, and Weber 6th.

I'll say this tho, Suter plays with a better D partner. Weber has played with Emelin, Beaulieu, Markov, Mete and Benn...(LOL)

 

[Captain97]

I wouldn’t even be so sure about Weber offensively. Goals wise sure but Suter has hovered around 50 points for 3 consecutive years now.

Adjusting this year Weber only played 26 games 16 points, (50 point pace) Weber and suter have almost identical point totals the past three years, if you go back farther Weber out rppducrs sure.

Eh, a lot of that is PP. at ES weber isn’t an amazing point producer though not terrible

Suter had had 24 of his 51 points on the PP.

Suter had had 24 of his 51 points on the PP.

True, he isn’t amazing offensively either. But statistically he is much better defensively and in transition.

Thats why I voted for him

This is one of the funnier things i've read on this board. Yes, Poile "let suter walk" and than proceeded to have a hissy fit during a press conference that they weren't allowed to match. Even funnier that they didn't sign Weber to the contract, Philly did.
