He was 17 at the world juniors 95% Canada's juniors are 18 and 19 it is not that he was not good enough it is that they like to field bigger, older, stronger teams. I'm not putting them all in the same boat it just a way of trying to explain why you don't simply dismiss a player because he hasn't scored 80 points in the NHL, especially one with the pedigree of a number 1 pick. Or a number 2 pick or 3. I would take Seguin over Parise as well... His pedigree has to be taken into account when holding him up against older players as that is what you have to judge him by and to compare him with players of similar pedigree is only prudent. If you want I can break down there games like MT does or would that not be ok as well. So will simply say Parise has averaged .80pts per game RNH has never played a game. So you can't trade them. Fine.
funny that you mention MT, because you sound a lot like MT in this thread.
