Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA Report post Posted December 25, 2007 I have a freind who's a canuck fan who has been raving about him. I personally haven't seen him play very much but from those who have is he worth the hype? My freind its pretty convinced that he will be a Legit number one d man in a couple years.

BeeRYCE 2 Report post Posted December 25, 2007 I don't base players purely on stats, but earlier today I was just taking a glance at the plus/minus leaders and he's #7 on the list with +15, but his point production doesn't seem too outrageous, so I look at him as a pure defensive player which is always good, and great on a Vancouver team with a lot of offensive d-men, aside from Mitchell.

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 I've heard it alot myself, but dont believe it. He'll be a 5th defenceman that can play the powerplay. Think Niklas Kronwall, except worse, and softer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nuck fans tend to overrate their players, just as they overrate their team. Edited December 26, 2007 by 2probert4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 agreed I think the Nucks are probably the most overrated team in the west, but somehow people are always convinced they are able to make it the SCF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cicada 4 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 most canadian teams fans overrate their players.. he;s be a top 4 NHL defensemen (maybe top pairing), but certainly not the next Lidstrom, which is what canuck fans think he is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingslogo19 281 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 I watch a lot of Canuck games being out west, and he's nothing really that special. Canuck fans will overhype anyplayer they can. Christ they were hyping up Pyatt and he's done s*** thus far Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christ they were hyping up Pyatt and he's done s*** thus far Same with Kesler. Every team has 2 or 3 defensive forwards. I've seen him play countless times and I have never been as impressed as the hype says I should be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But still he's nothing special like all the Canuck fans i have to listen to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
