If you go by more defensive oriented stats like SA/60, GA/60, and XGA/60, Tkachuk is better in all of them.
For example Tkachuk's worst season for CA/60 is 54.55.
Kadri has two seasons better than Tkachuk's poorest, and nine worse.
Its pretty much the same story in every metric one wants to look at. Kadri has a reputation larger than his results when it comes to defensive acumen. Left over hype from his time in Toronto, where he was a popular figure?

If you have the time. Please post Tkachuks reg season vs post season metrics. Then I'd like to see Tkachuks post season metrics vs Kadris.
Without digging into the advanced stats, which is what i'm asking you to do, I see Tkachuk has 15 pts in 27 playoffs games and was commanding 10+ million, if you've watched the Flames you'd know he's a disappearing act come post season time. Kadri has 44 pts in 52 post season games and tends to elevate his game.
Now of course we have to make the post season first, but if I'm paying Tkachuk 10 or more, or Kadri is available at 7. I'm taking Kadri regardless of age. We know what Tkachuk is in the post season, hes had 5 years to show us.
