Patrick Kane - $6.3 million - 27 goals. 72 points.
Corey Perry - $5.38 million this and next year. $4.88 in 2012/13 - 50 goals. 98 points. Gigantic value.
Jerome Iginla - $7 million - 43 goals, 86 points. Better value.
Bobby Ryan - $5.1 million - 34 goals, 71 points. Better value.
Michael Grabner - $765,00 - 34 goals, 52 points (on a SHIT team) Rookie, but he won't be paid $6.3 million after this year. Gigantic value.
Martin St. Louis - $4 million - 31 goals, 99 points - Giagantic value.
Teemu Selanne - $4.5 million - 31 goals 80 points - Better Value
Claude Girioux - $821,666 - 25 goals 76 points - Gigantic Value
*yawn* Quit pretending like you own this forum or that your opinion is the end all. Get off your high-horse.
Perry is great. Bobby Ryan and Claude Girioux are very very good. Good names. That's 3 guys.
Iginla? 7 Mil, 33 years old? Coin toss with neither side being wrong. He brings a lot to the game that Kane doesn't have, but he's older and not as talented a playmaker.
St Louis and Selanne? Great players, but a 35 and a 40 year old? Does the concept of Kane being 22 not make sense to you? Would you trade Keith for Lidstrom today? Wait, don't answer that.
Grabner...a rookie. Kane had 72 points as a rookie. I understand that you're in love with goal totals, but come on.
So you named 3 rock solid choices, 1 coin flip/more expensive older guy, 2 geezers and a rookie. I'm giving you a strong 4 right answers.
That's 4 wingers that could be said are better (all things considered... skill, age, salary etc) than Patrick Kane.
4 :clap:
Yeah, let's keep bitching about a top 5, 22 year old Stanley Cup winner :slap:
