You didn’t really do much I said he’s better but not by that much he’s not the difference of Schiefele and Hartman not to mention all the others in the trade that would go down as a top 5 worst trade of all time
Then you're not paying attention.
Just by going off the stats and information I listed, it plainly shows Kaprizov had 15 more points with *lesser* linemates (Hartman) than Connor had with Scheifele last year.
He was .15 higher in Pts/G.
Was worth 4.2 in GSVA, that's wins attributable to a player. Which is 1.6 more than Connor.
And according to market value was underpaid by $5M last year. Conversely, Connor is only $2.1M underpaid by market value. Kaprizov = $10M+ player. Connor = $9M player.
Connor is elite, Kaprizov is a franchise level player.
Kaprizov is in the same tier range as Kucherov.
Connor isn't. He's a tier below them. They ain't close chief.
Let's put it this way. If Kaprizov had a legitimate Low-end 1C centering him last season, IE Scheifele, he's hitting 115-120 points. Connor couldn't crack 100 WITH Scheifele.
