You are totally wrong. What you are saying is that Zetterberg is better in some areas and Datsyuk is better than others. That doesnt make one "better" than the other. How much they are worth doesnt matter unless they both produce, which they both do so nicely with some help from the Demolition Man. Zetterberg may wear the C sooner than Datsyuk, but that does not make him more important to the team than Datsyuk.

It was a hypothetical. Subsitute "Howard" with "John Doe" and the analgy sticks.

BTW, Hank is not better than Pavel (or vice versa).

Datsyuk lead the league in takewawys last year (by a wide margin). Datsyuk is a much better backchecker than people give him credit for.

Is he as good as Hank? No, Hank is exceptional. But he is very, very good.

Pavel has better hands, better moves and obviously a better stick. Is that saying Hank sucks in those areas? Hell no. It just means Pavel is exceptional at a couple things, and Hank is exceptional at others.

Theyre the same player, in my mind. Give or take some $$ seeing as Datsyuk should score 100+ pts while sleeping. But so can Hank, so this is a circular argument.

We can disagree thats ok. You do make great points.

I think Hank is more valuable to the Wings than Datsyuk and that's why I think he'll get more money.
