Wennberg is definitely underappreciated since the value he adds often doesn’t directly show up on the scoreboard.

He just needs to pull the trigger a bit more…for me.

From the games so far, he is still great at takeaways, so that’s good. Still has that issue with shooting the puck, but it’s not always a bad thing depending on the circumstances.

Giveaways and takeaways aren’t the best stat, highly subjective and can be barn dependant. I’m also not sure giveaways describe what the name suggests, it is often a result of having lots of possession. Kinda like how blocked shots means you don’t.

Data is from [fourteenseventeen.com](https://fourteenseventeen.com/team/SEA?season=20222023&stats=TAKEAWAY%2CGIVEAWAY&byPlayer=true), showing takeaways as the positive bar and giveaways as the negative bar. For the curious, Yanni Gourde had a +38 differential, which was 4th in the league behind Wennberg, TBL Brandon Hagel (+44) and CAR Jacob Slavin (+40).
