But I don't even get how Weber is nominated this year. Such a reputation-based thing.
Article from during the olympics comparing the Canadian D-men to each other is pretty on point here... http://canucksarmy.com/2014/2/17/the...ly-exaggerated |
I find it hillarious how you are using an article that references team possession stats to describe how good a player is. It is clear that weber is an elite defenceman and deserves to be nominated this year.
The question becomes, do keith's offensive stats hold up against the others, for me, both chara and weber are stronger defensively.
I find it similar to when suter signed with minnesota and people were talking about how he was the better of the pair and weber will be exposed without him. I think he had a better year, on a worse team.
