I consider both. And also likelihood of making it.
A small, 18 year old 2nd round pick has more upside than Hathaway, but Hathaway is already an NHLer, and he is a
very good 4th liner.
Conversely, the 2nd rounder has a 10-20% chance of being an NHLer.
Sure, if he makes it, a top 6er is far more valuable. But I factor down that value by the probability of making it.
Kylington: has shown progress, and sublime skating skills. So his stock is very high.
Fox is a 5'10" 18 year old. I look at his value as a top 6er x 10% (likelihood). He has to show me some progression before he's worth more than Hathaway in my mind.
