I said historically Kopitar is the better player. Do you agree or disagree?
I said moving forward Kopitar has the way better contract moving forward. Do you agree or disagree? Even if we add your random $1.5M I'd rather Kopitar.
In summary Kopitar is the far superior player because to me he's a dominant player that can lead a team while Lindholm is a support piece. Do you agree or disagree?
In summary again for you I wouldn't invest 8 years at 9 million dollars a year into a support piece. He's no Kopitar. He never has been and never will be.

Of course Kopitar has been a better player. But you can’t have him at the prices you were talking about, so why mention them. The more apt comparison is Lindholm age 8.5 versus Kopitar at 10 anyway. In fact, it’s more like Kopitar at 11 or 12 given the difference in cap percentage from now to then.
