hmmm this one is harder

I'd much rather have Batherson than Terry, particularly considering contracts

I guess it depends if you see MacTavish's upside much higher than Pinto, which actually isn't clear. McTavish is 2 years younger but Pinto is much better defensively so far and has even scored at a better pace
In what world has Pinto scored at a better pace? Because it certainly isn't this one. Both of McTavish's first two NHL seasons has been better offensively then anything Pinto has produced.

McTavish is comfortably a better player then Pinto at this stage in their careers.

Let me guess, 3 years ago some of you were saying Zegras > Stutzle? lol

Ducks and Sens are my two teams, I realize contracts/age and other factors play into trade value - but in my opinion Troy Terry stands alone as the best play driver of these four guys. The gap between him and Batherson may not be as much as their contracts reflect but the Ducks should prefer to keep the better player.

Terry is a better player than Batherson? I'm not sure about that. Even if he was, it would never be a 2.0 AAV difference. I'd take Drake without hesitation and even more because contracts are important.

How has Pinto scored at a better pace?

McTavish - 166 games played
Points per game = .58
Goals per game = .24

Pinto - 152 games played

Points per game = .48

Goals per game = .20

My fault as I didn't specify but was specifically talking about last season. Pinto had a weird development because he missed a full season to injury, then after his rookie year, missed another half season to suspension

He scored at a 54 pts pace when coming back with a detailed 2-way center game. I'm not going to give up on him as he has been struggling a few games coming back from injury. Sure I would do it for McTavish but there's other ramifications in this proposed deal.

Same as the post above, I was talking about last year, should have specified so I went back and edited. They had the exact same pace though

This seems like an absolute ripoff for Anaheim.

Troy Terry > Batherson in everything but height and size.

and McTavish >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pinto by a country mile.

Tell me you never watched Batherson play without telling me... I'm actually quite surprised a few have had this opinion. I guess Terry's 2021-22 season is still very fresh in some people's mind. Batherson was actually even better in 2021-22 too and was going to the all-star game (was over PPG) until stupid Aaron Dell cheap shot.

and lol at the last statement, even more ridiculous. I think you forgot a ">"

:facepalm:
