I mean the other posters kind of covered the premium paid, personally I was in shock that MTL gave up a first for him watching him for several years in AZ. He’s a solid player but he isn’t a top 6 guy on a cup contender his production is less than 0.1ppg more than Compher who COL uses as a Swiss Army knife, but he makes a $1M more than him. Again it’s not that he isn’t solid but he just isn’t a difference maker in any facet of the game, COL paid a pretty penny for Lehkonen (I thought they overpaid and was wrong) but Lehkonen is a beast defensively and on the forecheck and found instant chemistry in the Avs top 6 where they intend to play him this year, just don’t see any of those traits in Dvorak.
But thats the difference between you guys and me.
I look at the history and the market making an educated prediction .
Its why i do well with my stock investments as im not tied to any particular option.
I make decisions based on what makes me money and while investing in WWE every Februrary to cash out
1 week before Wrestlemania seems like a small move i grab up 600-1000$ in profit every year minimum.
I notice trends like this based on reviewing the history and making an accurate assesment of value based on Context.
I also learned Not to stop doing this about 3 years ago that during a pandemic start the circumstances shot the cost of
Purchase but the Profit went up by 40-60%.to compensate
All history you can check pretty quickly to Verify really with 1 targeted search.
My Point is not a single person on here seems to grasp the Market or how it works.
You think this is about Value hahahahahaha but you dont understand the term.
Value like Love and Life is in the Eye of the Beholder especially in the Post Cap Era Market.
Dvorak has more value because of who he is as a Middle 6 Bulk Faceoffs Center who's a good 200ft player.
You guys see it as a downfall but teams see it as good depth at a price they can afford to make their business thrive.
Lehkonen didnt get overpaid as the term "overpaid" suggest you dont understand the Market and how Value Fluctuate's .
Its an Oxymoron or Contradictory terms as all players , thats 100% of all players have their value increase during the TDL .
Even in a year where its a Buyers Market (like once a decade or more) those players value's increase even if only slightly.
Lehkonen is Supply vs Demand 101 or basic Capitalism unfolding before your Eye's.
Trying to pin a set value that doesnt change to him was something you did to fill in all the holes you couldnt explain.
Doesnt make it reality.
If you dont understand the Market you shouldnt be involved in Stock Trading , Real Estate or anything else involving it without hiring an advisor to explain its to you.
