Okay, suite yourself

Seider had a higher QOT last season and Dobson was still better by a bit. Dobson was also much better on the PK, if you want to talk about well rounded.

Will Seider be better than Dobson? Maybe, but to act like he’s already miles better is false

You posted outdated charts to try to prove a point, then the updated charts didn’t push Your narrative so you still stand by what you said lol

Oh I agree, Id take Seider too

He's already better and my guess is you're an Islander fan. He's ahead of what Dobson was. He's better defensively.

It's all I could find in a pinch. Again, I don't care enough to go digging.

He just won the Calder trophy by a larger margin than Makar did. He is better right now and that’s saying something given he is the younger player between the two.

If you want to talk facts, Seider is not better than Dobson right now. The same charts you pulled up show that Dobson was better last season. I don’t know what being an islander fan has to do with it, I already said I would take Seider over him, but the difference throughout their careers won’t be much. Dobson is already a #1 defenseman.

You clearly did care enough to go digging lol you just don’t want to acknowledge the numbers anymore because they didn’t support your OPINION.

Seider was better than Dobson defensively at even strength, Dobson was significantly better on the PK and he was also better at finishing, penalty differential and overall offensive impact.

Dobson had a better year than seider last season, Dobson is only a year older and Seider played with much better players last season.

There is literally nothing to prove that Seider was better than Dobson last season.

the only point I'm challenging is that Seider is miles better than Dobson , which is just not true, As you can see , Seider was better defensively at even strength. That's it. Dobson expected even strength offense, short handed D, penalty differential , PP offense were all much better.

That might be the most bias thing I’ve read on here in ages and that’s saying something

what's biased about it? I'm still waiting for someone to provide facts that Seider was significantly better than Dobson last season.

You made up a scenario to try to defend your player. I haven’t seen anyone say Dobson isn’t a very good young defenceman. You’re comparing Dobson in his 3rd season to a rookie. That’s incredibly disingenuous.

I didn't make up any scenarios. This is a thread comparing the two. Dobson is 1 year older , Seider being a rookie is irrelevant. If anything , Seider had an advantage over Dobson because he had a much better supporting cast.

I don't mind being proven wrong, someone give me the facts as to what aspects of the game was Seider significantly better than Dobson last season.

You're clearly and Islanders fan.

He's been in the league for three years. Seider is miles ahead of where Dobson was when he first came in. So yeah, I'd say he's miles better.

100%

That's not how this works though - it's just confirmation bias on your part to try to push a narrative. Even you don't believe what you're saying because you posted charts from last season LOL.

What bias could I possibly have?

you should probably go look up what confirmation. bias means.

My point stands (and it's correct) - the amount of time Dobson and Seider have been in the league is irrelevant. They are only a year a part and Dobson was the better defenseman last season with a worse supporting cast, therefore Seider can't be miles ahead.

since when is 3 years experience irreverent

I’m late to this fun party but as someone who spends far too much time looking at my former playing position I want to correct two things I’ve seen in this thread and that’s age and seasons. Neither of those are important in the least with these two players. If we were comparing one of these kids to a guy who is an established veteran then you can talk about the age gap and seasons. What matters with young defenceman even more so than forwards are the numbers of games. Dobson has basically played two full seasons at 160 games. Mo Seider has one 82 game season under his belt. Neither one of them have seen enough time on NHL ice to be anywhere close to a finished product. You need a good 300 plus games to get a real good idea of what kind of defenceman you have. While I can all but guarantee you both of these young guys will anchor a top RHD spot for years to come, I can’t say it with certainty like we can with Makar who is there now. I like Seider more like the polling shows but as a Canadian I see Dobson holding down a spot on Team Canada in a few years time. The only Canadian defenceman I’m higher on than Dobson right now is Clarke but again he has a lot to prove and is much further behind these two.

because it didn't give Dobson an advantage.

You answer literally makes no sense. Why would I have bias towards either player?

Only when those three years hurts your argument lol
