doubt San Jose accepts

Heinen is good, but Labanc is definitely better
Kuhlman is an NHL player, but has low potential
Zboril has fine chances of making the NHL, but hasn't improved statistically over the past few years
Boston will likely go far in the playoffs, so it will be a late second

not too far off in value, but I don't see San Jose taking this

Since 2017-2018
KL - 217 GP / 0.58 pgp
DH - 207 GP / 0.49 pgp

^The difference in their P/GP over 82 games is equal to 7 points. Few other numbers from that time frame:

Hits
KL: 133
DH: 130

Block Shots
KL: 57
DH: 101

TK/GV Ratio
KL: -26
DH: +16

Sorry, but I have a hard time with "Labanc is definitely better" statement.

sure, but over the 2018-2019 season and this season, Labanc has had 86 points while Heinen has had only 66

Ok listen whether Hienen or Leblanc is better, I dont care. Even in Leblanc is SLIGHTLY better, this is a huge overpayment on the bruins part. So of course the sharks say yes, but the bruins say no big time

Lol so your going to start measuring when Labanc has his best season, ya that's not cherry pick numbers.

Four B-pieces (three of which have or will make the big show) for one SJ sometimes top-6/usually mid-6 fwd is not a win-win situation for both GMs....
Guess which one declines?

what are you talking about, the most recent seasons are the most relevant

Right two full seasons and the current season, which is what I showed. You decided to start with Labanc's best season (last year) where his number were well above his career average. 2+ the current season gives a more accurate look than 1 + the current season.

ok but even then Labanc has more points and more goals

and more games. Again I pointed out their P/GP and said the difference over 82 games is equal to 7 points. That's honestly not a huge difference lol. I also pointed out that Heinen has thrown more hits, blocked more shots and has a better Tk/Gv ratio. When you take everything into consideration, its tough to say that Labanc is definitely better. Now you're more than welcome to think otherwise, but you've presented nothing to support your argument.

Labanc is still scoring more than Heinen when Labanc is on a way worse team.

When say "scoring" I'm assuming you're talking about goals (since we've already talked about overall points). Now sure I'll give you that, he scores more...just how much more. Again using two full seasons plus this season here are the G/GP over 82 game numbers. You ready?

Labanc - 16G per 82
Heinen - 13G per 82

So yes he does score more goals per 82, he averages a whopping 3 more goals per 82 since the 2017-2018 season. What else do you want to explore because you're just making my point with each post you have.

and assists on the pp. Heinen has had 19 powerplay assists in the 2 full seasons and this season combined, while Labanc has had 35. Labanc's production average is about a point every 26 minutes while Heinen's is about 30. Also, in the last 2 playoffs Labanc has averaged .46 points a game while Heinen is only at .27

That's a great point, but you're leaving out the minor detail that over that time period Labanc has 505 minutes of PP TOI while Heinen has 383 minutes of PP TOI. I'd also point out that it shows Labanc is more dependent on PP scoring than Heinen is. In fact over this time frame 35% of Labanc scoring has come via PP to 24% for Heinen.

I'll give you the playoff scoring though, the numbers would indicate he's been better there...however you've still yet to prove that he's "definitely better" lol.

ok, i refrain. I think he's "better"

Meh, debatable consider the numbers I've presented, but to each their own.
