I hate this team
Werenski wasn't just gifted the minutes, he happens to be an elite PP producer. He'd push Ghost to second unit.
And if you think at evens Werenski only looks better because of Jones, look at his relative corsi. Werenski has the highest relative corsi among rookie D ever recorded.
The things Flyers fans tell themselves about Werenski are usually misinformation.
It's debatable if Ghost would be moved to the #2 unit for Werenski. Ghost just had a "bad" year and still out produced Werenski on the PP. Hell, I would want both on the #1PP and bump Voracek off if Philly had both.
I am not slamming Werenski at all. He is really good. He FOR SURE helps their PP be as good as it was. But only a fool would say it makes no difference having Seth Jones compared to AMac as your D partner. Sure you agree with that.
These guys will always get compared due to the same draft. And Werenski will likely always outpoint Provy. Their usage is different. Provy was needed to be the #1 Dman while having a corpse as his D partner and being needed on the PK. Werenski was not used on the PK but instead given big PP time. And there is nothing wrong with that. It's a great usage of Werenski's strengths.
Philly got what is looking like a #1 Dman for the next decade from that draft. I am not complaining if CBus did too.
