Quoting: littlejerryseinfeld
First 4 years after being drafted.
Reinhart: 65 goals, 75 assists, 140 points
Vilardi: 13 goals, 17 assists, 30 points
Difference is 4 slots in the draft though?
Ah, yes, the comparing of a players first 249 games to another players 64 career games.
Do I think it's full value for Reinhart, no, I don't.
But I am also taking many factors into consideration.
Such as he's an RFA, no guarantee he signs with the Kings for more then a year. He clearly wants out of Buffalo and we need to get the best offer for him. Would I rather see Turcotte over Villardi in this trade ? 100%. Do I think the Kings do it ? Probably not. I see potential in Vilardi to be a similar player to Reinhart. Yes, this draft is weak, no question, but there's been reports that the Sabres like/"know" this draft and want another top 10 pick. And as a Sabres fan for all my life, final factor.... it's Buffalo..... they've been known to make **** moves. This move wpuld certainly not fall into the "****" category though.
And by the way, since you wanted to compare numbers..... Between their first 2 seasons....
Vilardi 64 games 13 goals 17 assists 30 points (20.3% goals per game 46.875% pts per game) Could also show he clearly has a higher assists per game avg
Reinhart 88 games 23 goals 20 assits 43 points (26.1% goals per game 48.6% pts per game)
Very similar points expectancy
