Joker, 5A in 3 games, a +5. Advanced stats off the charts. "Doesn't look out of place." It's early, but I'm not sure how he isn't in the "elite" category. I'm thinking he's a Calder candidate at the end of the year. Yeah, it's a hot take. I'm confident in it. Might want a SLIGHTLY bigger sample size...kid is getting mega protected minutes and zone starts Bullshit www.nhl.com/scores/htmlreports/20182019/PL020030.HTMAll his shifts were with Keith and most were against either Matthews or Tavaras. He was 3rd in ice time among Hawks D, in spite of only having 20 seconds of pp time. What the hell were you watching?....im guessing Dancing With The Stars.

Hawk PP is 0% and PK 63.6%
The Leafs were not the better team 5-on-5.

Actually, Jim is right. At this point, both DK & Jokiharju have had overwhelming offensive zone starts, Jokiharju more than DK. www.hockey-reference.com/teams/CHI/2019.html#all_stats_adv_rsWhich is fine. He's played 3 games and is a smallish offensive minded dman. I'm personally glad about that. Nice to see Q set a rookie up to succeed.

What the hell were you watching?....im guessing Dancing With The Stars. 71% ozone starts...highest on the team by a mile and one of the highest in the league...absolutely getting sheltered minutes...and they kept him away from tavares line almost all night...plus paired him WITH Toews line vs Matthews line. Go back to watching Americas got talent.

I wonder how the hawks are getting scored on more than stormy daniels, yet the kid is plus 5?
Either he is Rayv? Bourque, or getting protected minutes and matchups?

Protected minutes for a 19 year old isn't a bad thing. I guess the alternative is to start Manning and Seabrook more in the offensive zone?

I totally agree...the kid has been a pleasant surprise so far...but I think we need to pump the breaks a bit...lts been 3 games lol...and he has looked so good because he has been put in the absolute best position to succeed. But any kid actually being put in that position under Q is a fucking act of God.

I understand the offensive zone starts helping him out, but its not like he was only thrown out there against the other teams' 4th lines. He skated most of his minutes with either Matthews or Tavaras on the ice. And a good chunk of that time was spent in his own zone.

Agreed...plus he has to cover for Keith's glaring giveaways

Anybody think Schmaltz might be a Versteeg/Yaremchuk clone.
