He hasn't though, as has been pointed out
Their even strength stats are very similar this past season and Horvat has played with worse quality linemates and against higher quality competition
Situations play a big factor in counting stats
Alex ovechkins 50 goal seasons are different than Jonathan cheechoos in terms of who was driving the bus
I don't think it can be judged who is better at this point due to age, but as to who is better in their mid-late 20s in their prime it is arguably a toss up right now
