Interesting. Does Jordan not share the same pedigree as his older brothers?

He can't play defense.

Is Dowd basically a teams 12/13th forward?

Taking a while to get to 5000
|
Took Malcolm a while (and a location change) to find his game or at least get a chance to show he could play. Maybe the same for Jordan.

The comparison was based on the lack of defensive acumen, not the number of NHL games. The fact that one player is in the NHL is obvious. Perhaps green text would have provided clarification.

Presumably they needed a new 4C given that Horvat is out 6 weeks. Also isn't Sutter injured as well?

Came in looking for a "There's more than one Subban?!?" meme and am leaving disappointed.

Much shorter and a smaller frame than his brothers. Tough defending the cycle at 5'9, 180, so at that size you have to be really efficient defensively (Spurgeon) and/or have high-end offensive skills (Krug, Vatanen, Enstrom, Gostibehere) to survive.

Have a Subban, give a Subban. Need a Subban, take a Subban.

As tongue and cheek as it is, Brodie is actually a pretty good comparable. Obviously they aren’t on the same level but in terms of style, they play a very similar game.
