Dany Heatley or Kaprizov?

[Shark Finn]

The guy who would score 75 goals playing with McDavid

But not 80 playing with Thornton, that's for sure.

Heatley created the rockstar zone

What has kaprizov done in comparison?

Kaprizov bout to win a hart trophy!

This is not even close, Kap all the way. Heatley had 2 elite play drivers with him and only excelled during the crazy high scoring 4 years coming out of the lockout when everyone's numbers were inflated

There was only one "crazy" high scoring year after the lockout (2005-06). Even in 2006-07 when Heatley scored 50 goals, scoring was significantly lower than it's been since COVID hit.

You're talking about more than a decade later. The four years coming out of the lockout were night and day compared to pre lockout, especially the first 2. I watched him nightly for years, there's a reason he fell so hard and so fast and was washed up by 30, he depended on Spezz and Alfie, 2 elite play drivers
