they aren't similar players. schmaltz is purely an offensive dman. parayko will get plenty of points, but he's also a peripheral beast.
tbh schmaltz's biggest issue is that parayko is ahead of him. he's got the talent, but parayko's gonna have the PP all to himself next year once shatty is gone, which should limit schmaltz's value long term.
