I take Kreider pretty easily. To have a player with that size, skill and speed is really rare

They play a different game. If I had to trust somebody with 1 shot to cleanly beat the goalie and score, it would be Palmieri. If I had to trust somebody to protect the puck and buy me space, it's Kreider. Kreider does a lot of the dirty work for his goals

Nice poll. Interesting comparison.

Think different teams would make different decisions between the two.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Palmieri is a better shooter but Kreider provides comparable scoring and his physical presence tips it towards him.

This is from 2013 (oct). Not from 2014.

Kreider is just so much better at driving play and their production is pretty similar. Maybe Palmieri produces a bit more with better linemates, but it's not like Kreider's been playing with high end producers outside of Zibanejad this year

You posted since 2014, but you meant since the start of the 2013 season.

And Kreider looks worse because of a weirdly terrible start to the year that tanked his defensive numbers this season compared to usual

This is true, he's usually a plus defender.

Fantastic. That's still wrong. What you meant was from the 2013-2014 season. You were wrong. Move on. I wasn't looking for a debate or a reason why you posted 2014.

The 2013 - 2014 season is considered the 2014 season...

Palmieri can score goals, but Kreider can create goals.

Kreider but it is close in spite of fancy graphs. Palmieri has a lethal shot and plays very hard.

Contract wise? I take Palmieri.
