Again.. Huberdeau pretty much only played PP and OT with Barkov in that 115 point season

I feel like Huberdeau didn’t need an elite linemate like Barkov, but he needed someone to drive transition for him better than he can. Bennett does that well which is why they meshed.

What about doubling his points when he arrived to Florida?

A 56 game season tends to limit production

Ridiculous take all around specially the end

Were assuming the best version of each player according to this thread and that current paces are sustainable. If were assuming Reinhart is actually going to score 132, then were going to assume Verehaghaes current 3.9 shooting % is happening to. MacKinnon and Rantanen arent outperforming their normal paces, actually underperforming as crazy as that is, so yes, both are dramatically better than anything on the panthers.

By "pretty much only" you mean 30% of Huberdeau's total ice time, with 9% of that being PP time and a combined 22 minutes in OT? Got it.

I would not be surprised either. I'm a fan of the Panthers too.

There is a minor difference between the Sabres and the Avalanche. Mittlestadt is the one I expect to do the best once he is given whatever combination of Nichushkin, Landeskog, Lehkonen, and Drouin to play with instead of Kovalenko and O'Connor. Hes a ppg+ with those two. He should only be better with real players on his wings.

All Panthers are drastically outperforming themselves except Chuckie and Verhaeghe. Verhaeghe and Tkachuk will go up and Reinhart and Bennett will go down balancing out, but to assume Reinhart and Bennett stay there while Verhaghe and Thakchuk figure it out is not realistic. Barkov is doing better offensively than normal, but his D game is so good, he gets the benefit there.

A simple look at at shooting %'s and we can predict who will come down to earth and who will bounce back. The 13-14% is a good average for the leagues top scorers.

Reinhart% 26.3%
Bennett: 19.1%
Lundell: 19.4%
Barkov: 33.3%
Tkachuk: 12.5%
Verhaeghe: 3.9%

Mackinnon: 13.6%
Rantanen: 12.1%
Mittlestadt: 18.8%

Look back at this post when Mittlestadt is Kadri v2 and gets a big payday.


MacKinnon is drastically better than anyone on the Panthers and by a wide margin.

Comparing Barkov and Nichushkin if were going off last season isnt insane at all. Nuke is a near PPG player mostly 1st line minutes mostly and Barkov is slightly above ppg playing primarily top line minutes. Both are elite defensively. One is a center and other is a wing.

Tell me you dont watch Nichushkin without telling me you dont watch Nichushkin.

My whole point was we are assuming Reinhart is a 132 point player from this thread and Bennett is a PPG player, although he has never touched 50 so yes I am going to compare the best versions of the Avalanche. Obviously the whole premise was over your head.

And the entire post is me reaching complimenting FLA on indeed having the best top 4 and/or top 6 given the fact the Avs are the closest and two of those players are MIA currently.
Jesus f***ing christ man.

Worst takes you've had on this site?

You found your entree for this thread!

No, that would be Barkov. And I also say no to the smartest player in the league. The two way generation thing is a huge joke.

This is one of the worst posts I've read in a long time. Sure, "nuke" is a solid player, but he's nowhere in Barkov's league. Hell, he's barely in the league at this point.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics....
Nichushkin couldn’t hold Barkov’s jock.
Go ahead and make a poll

Lol. Obviously none of you have been following the thread. It is all about Reinhart being a "top 10 player in the league" because of his 57 goal 23-24 season and his current 132 point pace. Sooooooo going off that and ignoring the rest of his career is what we are doing.

Sooooooo based on that, we are comparing last season only and this. Based on last season, statistically

Barkov: 73GP 23g-57a-80p. 26g-64a-90p pace
Nuke: 54GP 28g-25a-53p. 43g-38a-81p pace

Some analytics and threw in other "elite" players showing how bad other players can be and how good Nuke is. Barkov is the elite of elite when it comes to defensive forwards, but Nuke is not far behind.

PlayerPositionCF%FF%SF%HDCF%
Valeri NichushkinR55.5353.8252.3952.21
Aleksander BarkovC58.4357.8258.6861.11
Nick SuzukiC49.4349.9750.4548.22
Kyle ConnorL47.5147.747.8544.55


Obviously if were going off of career accomplishments, its not close. We are going off of the players that are today and going off that, Nuke is not far behind Barkov. I think Barkov really is a top 10 player in this league because of everything he does outside of pure goals/assists and I would take him before Reinhart all day every day if I was starting a team.

Not once did I say Nuke is better, but to say "cant hold his jock" is statistically inaccurate.

Nuke's best season in points is 53 points and that is the last season. Barkov's best season is 96 points. Nuke could only dream about points totals like that and he is even playing much easier position. Not to mention this piece of greatness can barely rack 60 games a year, I'd say that affects the greatness too. They are not even close to a same caliber player, lol. I know you're about to bring up the pace which is whataboutism at its best, since we have never seen the dude play even close to a full season, so zero proof he could even keep the pace through out the season. Jesus christ man.

When you look beyond just the statistics, you will see the whole picture.
Nichuskin is not the player Barkov is.

Yes. As the point I was reaching for... I think you missed to make the point

ffs.. People seem to think only reason Huberdeau had 115 points because he played with Barkov. I pointed out he didnt. He actually was a 2nd liner on Panthers when he had 115 point season
