Description

Don't look at who is being traded to who, that doesn't matter.

This is a game. The goal of the game is to guess the correct stat line.

I have made two trades involving Calgary Flames players, Nikita Zadorov and Chris Tanev.

I have looked at similar players, their stat lines, their AAVs, and what they were traded for.

To make this game somewhat challenging, I have removed the players' cap hits and taken the average of their past 140 GP worth of games. For most players, this is across two seasons, for others, this may be averaged over 3 seasons due to injuries/personal matters/etc.

Your goal is to guess the correct stat line for the player - Zadorov or Tanev. If you can pick them out of the bunch, you win the game and can set their trade value!
