Bo Horvat vs. Nazem Kadri

[34]

Kadri easily.

 

[CherryToke]

Why would you create a poll where you have such a strong opinion on who should win?

Are you looking for confirmation?

Probably just butthurt that his boy is losing a poll. Sad.

 

[Tkachuky]

Kadri easily.

How many Canucks games have you watched?

Ah, only weak opinions are welcome......if they don't match yours, right?

No, thats not the point at all.

You created a poll to see how others compared the two players, with your mind already made up who you thought was the better one.

If Kadri in your mind is "BY FAR" the better player, why would you compare him to Horvat? Why not another player that also is "BY FAR" better than Horvat, maybe a guy like Barkov?

But then I look at the poll results and I think maybe your judgement is the problem.

Bo Horvat? Who is he?

Because I have an opinion on the question? Seems super simple, and easy enough to understand.

Don't care for my opinion?

Meh?

 

[TOGuy14]

Easily Kadri right now.

Bo has the potential to surpass him but until he actually does Kadri has proven himself to be superior on both ends of the ice

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Shut this one down. Lopsided result. As it should be.

It should be lopsided in favour of Kadri.

Horvat is a 20 goal scorer. His entire career high goals ranges from 13-22 goals! lol.. He is a 40 point guy.

Kadri is a proven multiple 30 + goal scorer 60 + point center that shuts down the best players in the NHL.

This poll makes no sense.

Bo Horvat? Who is he?

some scrub beating another overhyped leaf player on hfboards poll, that's all I know.

Sure, but not in real life. Not even close. That's interesting, isn't it?

If you're going to call Horvat a 40 point guy then you have to call Kadri a 50 point player. He hit 61 one time and he's a proven 60+ point center?

Horvat hit 55 once and you call him a 40 point center. Double standard.

You are not telling the truth here, He hit 52 ONCE, with 20 goals that season. His best season to that is 44 points. Come on!

Kadri is coming off back to back 32 goal seasons while playing against the NHL's best... shutting them down.

Very funny poll. One is not the same as the other.

I am done here.

You're right I misread Horvat's total. 52 instead of 55.

But it's still disingenuous to call Kadri a proven 60 point center when he's hit it once, and in the same breath calling Horvat a 40 point center, when he's cleared 50 once.

If you want to compare the two don't try to lie and widen the gap.

Horvat is younger and had improved every season. If you've been around hf for any amount of time you know that the younger player usually gets the nod and picks/prospects have astronomical value.

 

[hector morrison]

These comparisons are never cut and dried...too many variables!
That said it must be the 'going forward' part that is getting Horvat the votes.
The proven performances thus far in each career is not really an even comparison at all! Horvat is a fine young player ,but has a very tough road ahead to match what Kadri has accomplished. Lets see if Bo scores 32 against the same type of competition one time first.

 

[Semantics]

Naz now, Bo Ho going fo.

You say Kadri is a proven 60+ point player? He's hit that once too.

Thank god you're done here.

Not even close to the humor of Horvats numbers !

 

[Morbo]

Unless this is heavily weighted to "future", I'm struggling with how this isn't Kadri?

Kadri faces tougher competition and in the past couple years has a similar 5v5 P/60 and a superior PP P/60. In addition, he's scored 30G+ twice (plus 18 in 48 during the shortened season), has 1 60 point season, two 50 point seasons, and a 44 point (48 gp) season in the lockout shortened season. He's shown he can play on bad teams, good teams, an offensive role, a defensive role and plays with an edge.

If you were to ask me which guy I'd want to win today, I'd take Kadri without hesitation. And that's by no means a knock on Horvat, who is an excellent player in his own right.

Struggle no more. This is an HFBoards poll involving a Toronto player. Everything is going normally.

 

[lawrence]

Not even close to the humor of Horvats numbers !

what's so funny about his numbers? it's not like we have Canucks fans hyping him.

 

[AuraSphere]

Canucks fans should ignore the troll stating Horvat is a 40pt player at best. Most leaf fans don't feel that way.

I think Horvat will probably cement himself as the better player as soon as this year. But as of now, I'd say Kadri now, Horvat future. Kadri is just insanely underrated for what he brings.

To be honest with you, I'd rather have Kadri over Nylander if that puts things into perspective.

Does this mean you agree with [mod] who call Matthews a 60 point center? Because thats the same logic
