Quoting: BStinson
Button has a recent ranking out and you can agree or disagree with him all you want but supports my claim. Aftonbladet are some SHL experts which also agree. Lidstrom and Erik Granqvist also provided context over their broadcast. There was also another Swedish broadcaster claiming he’s going to be a top 5 d in the NHL soon. You haven’t provided any support to your claim so it’s in the minority nor did you even acknowledge the value in Samberg or a mid to late first rounder to make it a “hilarious overpayment”.
Craig Button is just bad at his job, you can literally go over all his rankings and at best it looks like a consensus with some random darts thrown at the board so he gets clicks.
I have no idea what you are saying these nameless SHL experts and other people are agreeing on, since i doubt very much they put out "Moritz Seider is much more valuable than Cole Perfetti" quotes and blanket saying that they agree on something dubious is meaningless.
And a random Swedish broadcaster stating something hilarious like a 20 year old without an NHL game is going to be a top 5 D in the NHL soon doesnt sound.....a little insane to you? Like, i get you're excited about that, but if any broadcaster said that about any prospect without an NHL look who wasnt named mcdavid or crosby it would be absolutly laughable.
and again, you are inventing this minority thing, because you literally have no information on anyone comparing these two specific prospects. that was my point. You like Seider, good for you, but you have your own opinion drawn from a bunch of random sources that have no tangible connection to the value comparison between these two players. So, my opinion on whatever minority or majority im part of is just as valid as yours is.
So, yes, it is my opinion it is a hilarious over payment because of what ive researched about the two prospects, that is literally the entire point of these boards.
oh, and bob mackenzie had Perfetti ranked 5th on his consensus ranking and Holtz 9th, so i guess that might mean something.
