we all already know this.

but 50-60 points is pretty good. He hasn't really had any top end talent, so the fact that he got this before an elite talent is very respectable.

I’m pretty sure zibanejad played with kreider as his lw for a majority of the season.

Less of an "unpopular" opinion. More of an "uneducated" opinion. Zibanejad only spent 30% of his Ice Time with Panarin. He spent double that with Buchnevich and Kreider.

Considering this is how well you're doing the research before giving an opinion, this is kinda an automatic "add to ignore" level comment.

30% of ice time does not matter it's the amount of points he get's with Panarin in those amount of games. notice how his play started to accelerate later on in the season. also if Panarin makes ryan strome look like an elite player he surly makes zibby a lot better than he actually is.

EXPOSE HIM

At 5v5, Panarin assisted on 4 of Zibs goals. On the flip side Zibs assisted on 2 of Panarin's goals.

yes, Panarin is more of a play maker

...Zibanejad has had 43 Even Strength points....Panarin has contributed to 11 of them.


Thank you for your comment. It makes it so that I can now add you to the ignore list lol.

Only time they play together is power play please get ur facts right. Obviously clueless about hockey

Na. Zibanejad was already reaching the PPG stratosphere before Panarin. With Panarin around he'll reach 90 ppg mostly because the opposition will have to focus as much on shutting down Panarin's line so MZ will get nights when the matchups favor him. Also he'll get more pts on the PP playing with AP and vice versa. We could also argue that having MZ around propelled AP to 90 pts. But we could counter that argument with...both players have simply naturally progressed to higher levels regardless of each other's presence.

What's also interesting is how uneducated this Atkinson/Panarin opinion is also.

Atkinson's drop in production is entirely tied to shooting percentage...

Atkinson's assists/60

2018-19: 0.99
2019-20: 0.95

Shot attempts/60

2018-19: 17.68
2019-20: 17.43

Shooting Percentage

2018-19: 12.69

This would be a decent troll post, but it just kinda ends up being sad because you actually think this stuff...

The guy scored 74 pts last season WITHOUT Panarin and even this season he's been playing with Panarin mostly on the PP and that's it. Dude, you're the kind of person who probably thinks that Draisaitl is good simply because he plays with McDavid

With Panarin he gets to 50 goals easily and over 100 pts

5v5 Panarin has factored in 14% of Zibs points, but he's good because of Panarin?

He did. His linemates have been Kreider and Buchnevich. Not exactly elite...

Playing on a line with Panarin?

TAKE A SEAT

Yup

This guy got owned

No doubt. But since they can put up numbers 5v5 on separate lines, I'd keep it that way. Spread out the talent. MZ is getting PAID when his extension comes up.

Agreed 100%

He had to. That's nuts

yall salty its just my opinion

Mcdavid helped develop drai into the good player he is today. your right tho, now he is good on his own
