How exactly did I prove that KK’s value is only a 2nd? Barbashev value as a winger, was at a 2nd.
(no it was not a 2nd, a first round prospect was given up for his services who is free to walk at the end of the season) Mitts is also a winger, not a center
Casey is signed for half of Jasperi for another year and will still be an RFA. The age difference between Barbashev and Mitts is about 2-3 years, and the same criteria you listed for Barbashev, would still apply to Mitts, with the offense showing up this year rather than last. Why else should I think differently about the value difference between Barbashev and Mitts, cause it seems like their value is pretty close.
Ivan was drafted in 2014, Casey in 2017 and Jasperi in 2018. Three draft difference between Ivan and Casey and only 1 draft year difference between Casey and Jasperi.
Not to mention, another difference between Mitts and KK is Mitts is in an offense first system, whereas KK is in a defense first system. Just the basis of their respective systems has influenced their production. As for your comment on injuries, have you forgotten about the 2 shortened seasons, cause KK missed about 50 total games, if even that, due to injuries. And you have to forgive me on not knowing that a former coach would scratch a player every other game. That really must be common knowledge for someone who doesn’t follow the Sabres.
Why would I accept the value you proposed for KK when I know that you are attempting to troll?
I am not a troll, and never would be, but you are biased and will not admit to it, I gave my estimation on Mitts, and might I remind you that I don’t follow the team, and thought him to be worth a late 1st or 2nd
(no you said a second, you are making it up again). The only times I even care to watch him are when a team I actually cheer for is at the other end of the ice. So how would I know what his true value is, when the only thing I see are stat lines, that for previous seasons were mediocre at best with a sudden massive jump.
Since you do not know his true value, listen to me and to a third party @sens65 or another Sabre fan @GARYMCKALE or to the poster @Ihopeigetit who will actually listen to comments.
Frankly, we can agree to disagree. I don’t have anymore time to waste on a useless debate.
That would be the smartest comment as you are not listening to other people who know more than you.
