When will fans start appreciating Colborne? 50 points?
Anyways its hilarious to me the same posters that want to ship Colborne out of town are the same ones gung-ho for acquiring Kevin Hayes.
Guess what? they are very similar players!
Colborne is 2 years older. Ill get that out the way.
Colborne PPG 0.52 Hayes PPG 0.46
Colborne's advanced stats are better
Hayes is luckier (PDO)
Most telling though IMO is that Colborne produces more yet he starts his shifts in the O-zone only 44% of the time. Hayes starts in the offensive zone a whopping 62% of the time.
Still not convinced?
Colborne has thrown 120 hits. Hayes has 67.
Colborne has 26 takeaways and 30 giveaways. Hayes has 22 TK to 39 GV.
Hayes plays Center enough to have 350 FO's taken. He is the worst faceoff man in the NHL at 35%. Colborne is at 57% with a smaller sample size of 150 draws. He can take and win important faceoffs for us like Iggy use to in his prime.
Joe Colborne is a better hockey player than Kevin Hayes
I feel like starting a new thread with this post to get it through peoples heads!!!
