I feel like Pederson is typically a factor in the offensive zone. Just doesn't seem like he has much of a defensive game
Also I'd love to get Debrusk. I've always thought he was like a Timo-lite kind of player
He's more ready than Weatherby.
That’s a fair comparison. I don’t think he’d score as Kane has but he’s good enough for the top six. No room in Boston for him.

How dare you sir bring up a member a of blues hahaRegarding Jake DeBrusk... Didn't the sharks say a trade was being worked with kane?
DeBrusk is much faster and has a better shot than Timo. I feel like he reads the game well and reminds me of a Tarasenko-lite player which is odd typing out...
I don't really see Tarasenko-lite in Debrusk. I agree with hohosaregood's assessment, from what I remember of Debrusk, he is kinda like Timo-lite but faster and better at tipping pucks and worst at grinding. I would take him because we love to try to tip pucks and could always use a guy like that, and I would like our players to play more of a transition-style game anyways.
Fine? If he was playing on the third pair we'd be in solid shape I guess. Could be worse with regards to a partner for Karlsson.
Basically indifferent, but he seems to be getting somewhat better.
two thoughts:
1) are the twins right? Is Karlsson back? sure has been playing like it recently.
2) The Athletic article used 20-21 data and showed Karlsson was the 2nd best PMD in the league and tops in moving the puck in all three zones. Evolving-Hockey's graph showed his SPAR as negative last year. Am I wrong in that looking at these two data sets suggests that Karlsson's value last year was tanked by poor goaltending and lack of finish from teammates?
Timo and EK seem to be on another level right now.So.. How about that Timo guy?
yea he uses his quick feet and hands to get out of pressure rather than force and offensive play, and he is joining the rush very judiciously now. Last year it felt he was always up in the play and no one could get him the puck, but maybe that's because it wasn't a good play for him to be thereI think EK is figuring out his limits and finally adjusting. He doesn't really look like the one man jet engine he used to be.

Yes, he hasn't gotten that pop, or quick acceleration up to speed back yet. He is moving the puck much better though.
I remember on his first year with the Sharks when he was healthy for those 3 or 4 weeks, his acceleration up to speed was insane. Blew by opponents easily.
Hes been especially exceptional doing these little evasive maneuvers to escape the forecheck. EK is a master at seeing lanes and finding forwards up ice. Whens hes able to escape pressure and find a forward leaking into the nz/oz, he's typically on it with a spot on pass that backcheckers and defenders aren't expecting.I think he still actually does it, he’s just very specific on when. I don’t know if it’s him playing it safer or what but I’ve still seen him go end to end, get an offensive chance then be the first guy back in the same shift. Either way, I think he’s looked extremely dominant.
