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

Scoring the last 3 seasons has been higher than it was in 05-06 or 06-07. That’s just a fact.

It’s also worth mentioning that Heatley finished top-10 in scoring in 02-03, while scoring was still low, and without the help of Spezza or Alfredsson.

A single season, before he destroyed his knee and killed his friend cause he sucks at driving, ya, he was good, but still not on Kap's level and never was for a second after that. Again, this is a guy I watched play almost daily which you clearly didn't and are just looking at stats well after the fact

Normally I wouldn’t bother replying to someone so stubborn. You don’t know anything about me, you’re just mad that you were wrong about the scoring levels. It’s not like I even argued that Heatley was better, I just listed facts to you.

The Sens around that time were one of my favourite teams in the league, and I watched them quite often actually.

LOL, I'm not mad at all, I watched him and he's not on the same level as Kap, period, stats aren't everything but they will absolutely prove it out by this season's end. At no point was Heater ever even remotely close to 35 points in 21 games. I wasn't wrong about the scoring levels, wtf are you talking about, I never once compared the current levels to Heater's prime, you kept doing it and I ignored that red herring. 05-09 was night and day compared to pre lockout, that's what I said and it was

30% Heatley is insane

Kaprizov is like a better version of Panarin, Heatley is like a better version of Mike Hoffman.
