Go back and look at what I posted.
Hilariously wrong. The Wings need a RHD to pair with Edvinsson on the 2nd pairing, not a LHD.
Why not.
Because Mo's pairing was not the problem. The dudes that wrote those defensive analytics have also written that Seider's deployment largely breaks the models. He's too extreme of an outlier to get any meaningful data. Any formula that spits out he's a bottom 5% defender in the NHL is very obviously worthless. But by all means cling to that bottom 5% rating as if it means anything.
That probably paints a more accurate picture, yes.
Don't care enough to look into the situation, but care enough to toss in two cents. How HFBoards of you.
2011 was a big problem. Holland (and Wings fans) had way too much confidence in Sproul, XO and Backman to save their defense. They all busted. It was 4 more years until they put any serious Draft capital into defensemen when they picked (sigh) Sarijaarvi. Shitting the bed overall in a fantastic 2015 Draft also a huge failure.
Good offensive production, downside is worst +/- on his team, 7/10 goals on the Powerplay, not sure the proportion on his 8 assists. Everyone saw him at the WJC... he's a guy that has a good chance to be a Powerplay QB, but if he doesn't quite get there, it's questionable if he is a good enough to be a meaningful contributor, and even if he does, still has question marks if he's a big time Defenseman or more like a Klingberg/Gostisbehere specialist. With current meta of 4 FWD/1 DEF alignments and First Units playing a disproportionate lion's share of any powerplay, I dunno that anybody is chomping at the bit or rocketing up him rankings at the moment.
Ok, and? What am I supposed to glean from this other than he remains a good prospect?
What standard? I literally told you who the player was. I would think you know this.
I don't understand, it's directly relevant
This is a great example of double standards, on your end though, Wings prospects get the benefit of the doubt, but I'm doubtful you do that for every other well regarded and highly drafted prospect
He had a good season, I wouldn't say he's shot up or down.
Kasper has been ice cold lately, 3 points in his last 13 games. Disappointing season for those of us hoping for more offense. He looks like an NHLer for sure, but hardly a difference maker that you would hope for with a top 10 pick.
See, this is just absolutely an insane take and shows you have zero interest in an honest discussion.
I'll make this very simple for you.
No it’s not, lol. I don’t know what to tell you. It’s notoriously hard to rank prospects scattered all over after their D+1. He went 17th in the draft, not 170th. Everyone is a good prospect at that range.
72 games for the worst team in the league putting up just over 20pts? What a STAR.
With a second paid that can actually perform as a second pair then they wouldn’t have to shelter everyone else and not have to play Seider in, by FAR, the hardest positions in the NHL every single time he’s out
