Quoting: noted
Ok...Blues have Robert Thomas signed to basically same contract as Hughes, and his production is similar to Hughes. Never would I say he has more value than McDavid. Not saying Thomas is as good as Hughes also, but the delta from Thomas to Hughes is smaller than the delta from Hughes to McDavid...
Robert Thomas has a career high of 20 goals, has never surpassed 80 points, and is just slightly above a PPG the last 2 years. He is in no way comparable to Jack Hughes, and yet he makes more.
Over the last 2 years:
Goals per game:
Hughes: 0.5
McDavid (at jack's age): 0.51
McDavid: 0.62
Thomas: 0.29
Points per game:
McDavid: 1.8
McDavid (at jack's age): 1.4
Hughes: 1.27
Thomas: 1.00
If Robert Thomas was making 4.5 million dollars less a year than Jack Hughes, had 7 years of term compared to Jack having 3, and was 4 years younger than Jack, yes Robert Thomas would be more valuable.
Instead:
Robert Thomas makes more than Jack Hughes, has significantly worse production, and is 2 years older
