and everyone else will never come to terms with how much his defence improved. there's a weird trend where people see someone bad at something has no ability to change when all the analytics point to him getting better at it every season (and this year it was pretty exceptional actually). dobson's defence is still trash though and has terrible possession (habs fan)
if bouch´s defense is that bad, why is he top 1 in half, and top 5 in the other half of advanced stats? (thats without ekholm btw, with ekholm he is n1 everywhere)
Zadina was not bought out. He chose to terminate his contract, against the advice of his agent, so that he could go to a team with more opportunity. Bummed he didn’t work out in the NHL
Coming from someone who watches every caps game, Fehervary is way better overall than Sandin. Doesn't put up big numbers but he is an incredible skater and defends very well. Way more valuable to his team
Zadina in the list while playing in Davos and Blues goalie Joel Hofer not on that list is criminal. I get he's backup to Binner, but he's a stud w/ .910 sv%, Dostal is solid too. :)
I feel so bad for Ty Smith. I thought he was going to be a key component when the Devils turned it around, but they sold him at the right time. His skating is just not at the level it needs to be at for the NHL. Great kid with a lot of smarts. I hope he finds his way back to the show.
Bouchard is the biggest eye test in the league. Main reason these guys live off of stats on their phone. They don’t have any actual hockey iq lol in 5 years you’re gonna laugh at how bad your redrafting was.
Having zadina on the list is criminal, bergren only has one season in the NHL and I'm still taking him over zadina even though the wings ended up with both. Also crazy how weak this draft is compared to 15-17 and 23-24 drafts
Hes actually had some of the best numbers under their new coaching staff. People just refuse to give credit to Oilers players out of jealousy. People did the same with the Pens when Crosby was the top player
Oilers fans will never come to terms with how abysmal Bouchard's defence is lmao

Disagree with a lot of the list but this series is pretty entertaining, glad to hear different opinions. Keep pumping out good content!

I’m curious to see how they do the 2019 draft. If they do it.
You guys are way too low on dostal holy shit lmao.. guy is putting up over .900 save % on the ducks as a 23 year old
He won rookie of the month in November last year......def over looked here

Bouch that low is criminal. Dude has like 45+ playoff points in 30 games.
points aren't everything. he's had one really good season and is a horrible defender. he's overrated
I'm starting to think these guys don't actually watch hockey. Honestly disappointing the lack of effort they put in
I like how they say what think and not what other people think they should say

Do these guys actually watch hockey, or do they glue themselves to stats on a phone/laptop?
Dobson before Bouchard any day of the week, Bouchard is not a good defensive defensement.
Hes actually had some of the best numbers under their new coaching staff. People just refuse to give credit to Oilers players out of jealousy. People did the same with the Pens when Crosby was the top player
So we don't look at plus minuses? Uh k.
First! Keep em coming!
U like dobson’s defense😂😂 hes horrible defensively. Bouchard just as bad tho
Brady is the most overrated player in the NHL.
