I didnt want to put Hamilton for 3 categories

Also Rielly was injured a lot this year. But when fully healthy in the playoffs, he was a beast

Actually Hamilton would be a solid pick for most overrated. Maybe make a category for easiest to play against. He could be that too.

he was last year but overall i would say Hamilton


Reilly was fantastic last season, but nothing about his entire career beyond that season suggests to me that he is a guy who is capable of being at that level consistently. That season will almost certainly stand as the best of his career. Still a great offensive talent though.

Korbinian Holzer makes Zaitsev look like a Norris player, and was a full time NHL player this year. There are plenty of options who are way worse than Zaitsev.

As for Offensive Dmen, Reilly had a legitimately fantastic offensive season last year, but he's never consistently been at that level, and likely never will be. He's not better than John Carlson, and even though the end is rapidly approaching the end, Burns has a way more impressive track record over the last 3 years. Also I know they're rookies, but Hughes and Makar have already reached levels as high or better than Reilly, and they have way more room to grow.


No

They also are at the top already in transition as well, just look at what they have done in the playoffs with literally sublime plays.

1 point in 5 games makes him a beast in the playoffs?

cuz pts arent the only measure of offence, i look at stats that isolate from teammates and pts dont do that. Rielly is elite in those stats while having great point totals

1. I talked about ppg, so missing games is irrelevant.
2. You think he was the only dman playing injured this year?
3. 1 point in 5 games is not a beast

Karlsson being most regressed is fair, I’d venture most injured or most uninterested

Vlassic Would be close for most regressed as well

You realize that points arent the only way to measure offense right?

On pace for about 47 points. Also you do know points really aren’t the best way to measure offense right. There’s so many random aspects such as
-Teammates
-Competition
-Wether an assist actually mattered to the play
-what if a player created a good chance but a teammate couldn’t finish it?
-did the player do anything else in the offensive zone (possession time, shot attempts, creating chances, getting turnovers, zone entries)
-what state of the game was (was it 5v5?, 5v4?, empty net?, 4v4?)

So just like I asked everyone else who said that same thing, prove Rielly is the best offensive dman

Dude if you can't distinguish between "Zaitsev is not the worst Dman in the league" and "Zaitsev is good" then maybe that bath would be a good idea.

He's not good, but he's better than the Jarred Tinordis, Marc Staals or Korbinian Holzers of the league.

Ok so prove it in other ways. Funny how everyone is saying that, but nobody is actually providing any sort of evidence or facts
