Quoting: Bcarlo25
Taylor hall was a rental. Taylor hall is a fraction of the player “barkov,” is.
No, it’s not even close.
first of all, it's "borkov"
second, i'm not saying the comparison is exact. i will admit i thought barkov was up in 2021 rather than 2022, which makes a big difference, BUT, many people seem to forget how underwhelming these big trade returns are at first glance. as a coyotes fan, I wouldn't look at this trade and think they absolutely STOLE barkov from FLA--in fact I could see it coming back to bite the yotes in the ass, especially if jenik pans out as he's supposedly going to. but hey, ya know what they say about opinions
let me propose this-jenik is replaced in the trade by barrett hayton. does that move the needle any more in your opinion? what if it's stepan who gets replaced? or chaput? if you took the trade i proposed and replaced chaput with hayton, i don't possibly see how that's not an overwhelming return for florida. I dont think they could turn that down. i'd genuinely like to know your thoughts.
p.s. appreciate the love for brandon carlo. he is a hell of a defenseman
