Now: Panarin vs Kane

[Tage2Tuch]

The fascination with age on this board is bizarre. Like Breadman is in the prime of his career. And the guy who is three years older (Kane) is somehow in the twilight. Yikes what a take. Beginning next year, I'm sure most board members here would take Alexis Lafreniere over McDavid for the next ten years. After all, CM is five years older. Right? I see it all the time in trade proposals too. Well X player is definitely better than Y player. But I'll take Y player because he's two years younger.

It’s because in this day and age with all the fantasy leagues, and all the video games, GM modes,(people are thinking like GMs) trade proposal threads, amongst everything else under the sun...(even media driven narratives) there is a big bias to age? especially now more then ever since it’s becoming a young mans game, the value of a guy younger is definitely a difference maker to most at the moment.

Panarin, because he is better than the median Kane. Here's how I'd rank them:

Patrick Kane
Artemi Panarin
Evander Kane
Boyd Kane
