I understand that. I meant that it is still OK to debate the value of Hamilton vs Barzal despite the fact that it was not an either/or scenario.
I just find the debate about their value to be interesting and the fact that Hamilton was traded in the same draft Barzal was picked in is an easy entry point to the debate.
