This is when I can tell someone doesn't watch games lol. Just blindly comparing d men who are very different from each other. Durzi isn't some big physical 6'5 guy that GMs drool over. He's not a defensive d man that has almost more hits this season than durzi has in his career. He isn't 22 years old prospect that won SHL d men of the year.
Durzi is a mistake machine who gets most of his points from secondary assists. This is prime example of someone just looking at box scores and not knowing anything about the player. You probably thought Will Butcher was worth a 1st lol because he had points..

Chiarot was a big physical minute eater that just averaged 25+ minutes on a stanley cup team. Just stop with the bad comparisons.
D men like Durzi are among the most easiest to find. This is like Hawks fans telling me Gustafson was worth a 1st because of his 60 point season when he only got a 3rd. DeAngelo who is a far better player offensively got a 2nd + 3rd.
dannibalcorpse literally just gave you facts and you chose to ignore him blindly. He gave you multiple defensemen above all who fetched big prices who were arguable worse, older, and more expensive than Durzi currently is.
"Chiarot was a big physical minute eater" Yeah, who was.. and is... terrible defensively. And that's like, SUPPOSED to be what he's good at, and he fetched a big price. He fetched his price because the Panthers needed him. In the same regard, if a team needed a young, cheap puck mover, Durzi could also easily catch a first.
You're putting Durzi WAYY too low because he doesn't hit? Thats your stick?

He's more accomplished than Alex Romanov and Nils Lunkdvist were, and they both got 1sts. A defenseman with a sub-$2M cap hit, with multiple years of team control left, who scores at a 40-45 point pace, and with strong defensive numbers, is 100% going to get a 1st if the Kings put him up on the open market.
refer to this^
Lundqvist, super offensively minded while not really been proven to be good defensively. (or proven at all, only a 20+ game sample size. big risk) 1st round pick.
Romanov, while more defensive, never really impressed all that well with his time in Montreal. 1st round pick.
You are simply wrong.
