Quoting: bkt42bkt42
How about just per 82 the last 3 seasons:
AB: 41 goals and 44 assists, 85 points in 196 games= 17 goals/ 18 assists/ 35 points per 82
Lee: 60 goals and 53 assists, 113 points in 177 games= 28 goals/ 25 assists/ 53 points per 82
Palms: 62 goals and 54 assists, 116 points in 190 games= 27 goals/ 23 assists/ 50 points per 82
Eberle: 51 goals and 59 assists, 110 points in 191 games= 22 goals/ 25 assists/ 47 points per 82
Bailey: 38 goals and 96 assists; 134 points in 204 games= 15 goals/ 39 assists/ 54 points per 82
Hell, it would be a tough argument to even say AB was your 4th best winger.....yet; but definitely not better than Lee or Palms
Imagine evaluating players strictly on points lol
1. They do not account for defensive value
2. They do not account for teammates in any way
But even going strictly on points , here is how Palmieri , Lee, and Beauvillier match up 20-21 season
Goals per 60 minutes:
Lee: 1.52
Beau: 1:17
Palmieri: .79 (devils) .50 (Isles)
Points per 60 min:
Lee: 2.41
Beau: 2.18
Palmieri: 1.69 (devils) / 1 (Isles)
Goals for per 60 min (how much a player increases the rate his team scores goals)
Lee: 3.76
Beau: 3.17
Palmieri: 1.86 (Devils) .88 (Isles)
Palmieri vs Beau isn't even a debate lol - Palmieri is regressing at a rapid pace and it's highly unlikely he has a bounce back season when he's approaching the wrong side of 30.
Beauvillier has 35 points in his last 44 games dating back to the regular season, no islander has had as many goals or points in that span. Palmieri only has 17 points in his last 44 games and you want to give him a 4 year deal around 5 mill? interesting.
While Lee is better offensively than Beau, he does benefit from playing with Barzal. Where Beauvillier provides more overall value is in his forechecking ( he's one of the better forecheckers in the league) and his defensive play. Beauvillier had the 3rd best defensive impact among isles forwards this season while Lee has had a negative impact defensively 2 years in a row.
20-21 XGA/60 (preventing quality shots against)
Lee: 2.24
Palmieri: 2.35 (devils) 2.24 (Isles)
Beauvillier: 2.02
Beauvillier plays against tougher competition as well.
