But the whole BPA argument is garbage for the most part anyway.
Sure, for the first few players it is mostly black and white when one player is clearly better than another, but after that it is far more nebulous. First of all,
what defines BPA, and second,
who defines it?
With any two reasonably comparable players, one is better in this regard and another is better in that regard. It is a question of choices.
Take Nichushkin and Monahan for example. Many experts would have listed Nich as the BPA. Not me. IMO, Monahan has more of what I think you build winning teams with.
You can talk BPA all you want. I will choose players that you build teams with all day long. And for me, that doesn't mean a collection of mostly Europeans.
