@@mosalad7176but also Aho is a huge factor defensively, and might honestly be the best penalty killler in the league. Kaprizov doesn’t come close to Aho defensively
@@kashitumbapura6691 Aho is also best faceoff guy from the top. Most shorthanded goals. Because of shorthanded and Canes more equal play time plays 5on5 about 3 mins less per game than Kirill. Also while Canes is better team, it plays very defensively. Over the 4 seasons Canes have made less goals than Minnesota (though they are close). But far less than Avalance & Leafs. So if anything I could move Aho to 2nd pick. I would say that Rant-Marner-Aho is hard pick for 2nd.
I feel like it should be noted that Eichel may have been in a much better position if he had been with a team willing to let him get his disk replacement surgery. The delay in treatment likely affected his play.
Yikes, you're obviously new to Hockey or a stat merchant. If you watch him play, you would immediately know he's the difference maker in that team. He is single-carrying a Wild team. And for why I'm guessing you're calling that season a fluke, is because of the following season. That would prove you're a stat merchant, because not only was he on the road to break his previous point record, but he also got injured pretty badly. Now that he's back this season, obviously not at his prime, hes STILL aiming for a 100 point season. Watch hockey before commenting bud.
Eichel played in a Stanley Cup winning team (a team that already reached a final without Eichel), Connor and Hintz are playing for teams that are topping or close to topping their divisions. Kaprizov is playing for a potential bottom 10 team. Know the difference.
+ You're saying hes worse defensively than all three. How would that matter in the grand scheme of things if a FORWARD is worse than another forward, but far better in the offense. Youre drafting mostly for the offense when going for a forward. The gap in the offensive abilities of Kaprizov compared to the others far triumphs over the gap in the defensive abilities.
Man, Kaprizov is around 1.15 ponts per game in his NHL career and has more than 0.5 goals per game. This is some prime Ovie stats right here. He should be above Aho for sure. Eichel, Connor and Hintz are out of the question.
