He will be if he hits 50 pts this season, which he won't (injured) was on pace for 50ish, you decide

He'd be competing against Fiala as I said before, who is a more dynamic player with more upside. The fact you mentioned Hartman says you have no idea who plays on what line for the Wild. Take the L and move on.

It is your criteria, not mine, Rielly is a legit 1st pair D to me, Werenski also is to me, even though he does not fit your criteria either.

He's a guy that just can't seem to take the next step. He's good sure, terrific shot, good skater but he just can't figure it all out.

Kapanen has more points than either of those guys and plays 3rd line minutes. It's a safe bet he could produce more with more opportunity. Also he's 23. Your statement is about as empty as they come.

I think this is an interesting characterization, I don't think Nurse is far behind Dumba offensively, he just doesn't get the PP opportunities that Dumba does.

In the past 2.5 seasons, Nurse is 10th in the NHL at 5v5 with 69 points, Dumba is 53rd with 49 points. Of course, Dumba missed a bunch of time due to injuries, but if you look at P/GP and P/60 Nurse is still slightly ahead.

P/GP
Nurse: 0.32
Dumba: 0.30

P/60
Nurse: 1.03
Dumba: 1.00

This year Dumba's stats are WAY down, and combined with his lower defensive ability I think his value is well below Nurse's at this time.
