We will agree to disagree.
But I am glad you conceded that a GM can sign a better D man in De Haan for lesser money and without giving up assets as a UFA for a overpaid Journey man D man like Zaitsev. And that was my point.
BTW you actually think Zaitsev is better than Ian Cole for the Avs at 4.25 x 3 years? Really. You know he is playing on the 2nd pairing with Barrie on a very good Avs team. Really now....
Zaitsev is playing on the 2nd pairing on a very good Toronto team
Cole is producing marginally better offensively, has a 54% dZS% vs. Zaitsevs 59.8%, similar CF% despite easier usage, GA/60 of 2.9 vs. Zaitsevs 2.7
So yes, they are producing similar but Zaitsev is playing heavier defensive minutes. I dont know what is so hard to comprehend.
