Sure, if he makes it, a top 6er is far more valuable. But I factor down that value by the probability of making it.
Kylington: has shown progress, and sublime skating skills. So his stock is very high.
Fox is a 5'10" 18 year old. I look at his value as a top 6er x 10% (likelihood). He has to show me some progression before he's worth more than Hathaway in my mind.

He is?
he has a total of 14 games on his resume...how do you come to the conclusion that is very good?
Dont get me wrong as i like what i saw at the end of the year but that was garbage time for the whole team and there was little to no pressure on any of them to draw conclusions from.
I would say that with a new coaching staff and lots of competition for lower line spots being acquired, he is at best a 50/50 guy to stick all season.
Not meaning to derail things here but it seems like there a few guys that we all need to see a lot more of before anointing them anything but fringe NHL'ers.
