Agree to disagree. Analytics lovers tend to underrate strong, physical, defensive defensemen in general. You'll never convince them otherwise and I'm not going to even bother.
Methot's trade value will certainly be way, way ahead of Schlemko's so I guess most NHL GM's will disagree with your assessment of them relative to each other.
