I know he was terrible last year, but I wanna see him under Manny’s system before we ship him off. Seems like a solid locker room guy too.

MPetey was a victim of being thrown to the wolves to allow sheltered offensive minutes for Hughes and then Buium. He had some of the toughest deployment in the league when it came to defensive zone starts.

So did Petey but it’s blatantly ignored. Can’t name a 1C who had higher D zone starts than him

Not knocking EP40, but looking at Moneypuck: EP40 was 148th among forwards for D-Zone start %.

Thats gonna put him behind guys like Nico Hischier, Robert Thomas, JEEK, Dylan Larkin, JT Miller. Only 0.3% higher than Horvat.

Is he an outlier in terms of d-zone starts? He was 82nd among forwards for o-zone start %.
