No, I'm not. I don't compare Defenseman to Forwards. I understand where you coming from but you can't measure player against player. My system evaluate trends and the correlation of how many picks you have (top 10, top 100, total picks) vs actual games played, points, and points per game in the NHL. Slavin and Provorov have produced points and games played while what defenseman has produced points for the Habs since the 2012 draft? So in this case, they would be getting a better production from those guys.
My system approach is much better than someone's gut feeling or wild guess opinion. Like I said, how fair is it when someone thinks Thomas is a #1C and Poehling is only a #3C? It's someone's prediction and maybe they end up both 2nd line centers in the end. How is this fair to the Habs when pretty much every single prospects we have are devalued. Pretty sure if another team had Poehling, they would be calling him a grade A prospect.
I'll be very clear... my system evaluates your ability to produce NHL players both elite and bottom of the line-up and how it correlates to how many picks you have and where you typically picked. I don't see us being a bottom of the league in prospects. There are many teams that are in the same boat as us and lack grade A prospects.
The problem with your method is that you take into account just points as of right now.
If you did the same exercice say in 2009:
- You would have had Karl Alzner more valuable than P.K Subban and Ryan McDonagh
- You would have had Sam Gagner and David Perron more valuable than Max Pacioretty
If you did the same exercice in 2007:
- You would have everybody more valuable than Carey Price, Tomas Plekanec, Chris Higgins etc.
Bottom line is, your ''work'' does not take into account multiple factors, including players that peak a bit later, does not include goaltenders etc.
Also, we are not a very good team now and our prospect pool is AT BEST, by your own flawed account, middle of the pack.
