## Resource

When comparing veteran defenseman Benoit—big, gritty, with over 350 NHL games and elite hit-blocking stats—to the smaller, more offensive-minded Andrae, the analytics reveal a clear winner: Andrae. While Benoit dominates in physicality and playoff experience, Andrae outperforms him in scoring, puck possession, and expected goals, proving that modern hockey values more than just size and toughness.
