Tarasenko is better, obviously. A top 20 winger at least, and he's better talent-wise, and advanced stats agree with me. Higher Goals For Per 60, Expected Goals For Per 60, Corsi For Per 60, but he's bad defensively, but it is expected, since he's played in an offensive role. Hintz is still a great third liner, who can play on the second line, and he is still young and has potential to be a full time second or even first liner. Hintz is better defenseively than Tarasenko.
