I think you've really disregarded how people viewed Carolina's off-season, given the absolute mammoth changes... a lot of people picked the Canes to miss the playoffs. Nashville were picked to be rebuilders, but neither player has really been the main reason that the teams are surpassing those expectations.

Also, Jarvis > Jeannot

He will definitely get some votes. Not sure about top five but he’s got very respectable production given that he isn’t given powerplay time and is given a lot of defensive zone deployment.


Either way to the OP. Jeannot is on target for roughly 21G and 21A. Given his contract, age, play style, and constant drive to become a better player it would have to be a completely ludicrous offer that would likely get your gm fired.

Jeannot has a better production rate than Jarvis and is given more defensive responsibilities. Jarvis may end up better but I would t say he’s better at the moment

I'm not going to argue with you on who is better. You've told me before that Svech is a top 20 player in the NHL. On the other hand, who picked Carolina to miss the playoffs? All the writers in this article picked them to be in the playoffs: https://www.nhl.com/news/stanley-cup-picks-for-2021-22/c-326685518

Also, none of them had Nashville, so I think it's safe to say Nashville has exceeded expectations by a bit more than Carolina. Carolina is a great team, but everyone knew they'd be a great team.

Jarvis literally is on Carolina's top line, and plays short-handed on the best PK in hockey... I'd rather have Jarvis right now.

Really? You're gonna argue Svech isn't a top 20 player right now?

UT had the Canes missing, and that's the most popular one.

So you’d rather have Jarvis who produces at a lower clip given top line quality teammates than Jeannot who is given third line quality teammates and manages to produce? Each their own I guess. Jeannots play style, physicality, and tenacity fit Nashvilles needs more so I’m probably biased as can be.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Jarvis has the higher ceiling… I just think if we look at where we are now and the opportunities that have been afforded the players Jeannot > Jarvis at this particular moment in time. Who knows about next week… I’d love to see Jeannot on Nashvilles second line with Johansen and Kunin. It’d be a very heavy line with a lot more skill than he’s used to

Jarvis undeniably has a higher ceiling. If he develops at this rate, he could EASILY be the best player from his draft class. He was a very boom or bust pick, and he's gone SO well so far .

Jarvis is playing with Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen on Carolina's top line. Since the move (Jarvis to their wing, Svech to the 2nd line) aho is scoring at one of the best rates in hockey, He's been incredible. Just because it doesn't show up on the scoresheet doesn't mean he's not been better.
