D-Yeah, we know.
Should he have tho?
Except I didn't say any of that. I said that I didn't see a rational argument for Horvat costing significantly more than Schenn did when all is considered and then broke out a half dozen players of similar calibre who were traded recently to support that.
by the Doms:
McDavid 28.5 --- MacKinnon 33.4 --- Stone 24.8yeah deserved.
Hagel 21.1 --- Suzuki 22.9 --- Celebrini 22.2
Wilson 15.0 --- Thomas 17.4 --- Marner 14.9
Scheifele 14.3 --- O'Reilly 14.3 --- Jarvis 12.1
(Holloway 12.0 --- Horvat 11.3 --- Guenther 11.6)
Hyman 11.4 --- Cirelli 11.2 --- Johnston 11.3
Reinhart 11.2 --- Crosby 10.5 --- Kyrou 11.2
Batherson 8.8 --- Point 10.2 --- Konecny 9.6
Barzal 8.6 --- Cozens 8.7 --- Evangelista 8.5
(Eberle 8.4 --- Tavares 8.1 --- Giroux 8.2)
We simply disagree. Which I’ve been saying for a bit.
Schenn is 3.5 yrs older, and fallen off his prime.
Horvat is better both offensively and defensively plus he’s elite at faceoffs. He gets tough usage because he’s a solid matchup/shutdown center who can score 28- 35 goals.
That’s catnip for most GMs
He’s not being dealt for a late first and just a good prospect as you said.
I wish you were right though because the Habs have a a giant hole at C… and they have a late first and plenty of prospects
i mean you could put wingers with lower doms on the team instead i guess.
Except I've never limited my argument to Schenn, he was just the first of almost 10 examples I've brought up now, all of them somewhere in that range of 1st rounder to 1st + good prospect. I don't know what you keep fixating on him.
Coyle, Hertl, Nelson, Reinhart, Cozens, JT Miller I've mentioned already. Can add Kadri, & Granlund to the list as well.
None of them cost significantly more than B Schenn did. That's just the market for 2C's when they go up for sale.
Yeah, the contract is a bit of a bargain, with the usual inflation we see plus the cap going up so much.Horvat would get more than $8.5 x 5 as UFA this year.
