I think there is little doubt that teams would value JK much higher in a trade.

Comparing points without context can be misleading.

I think there would be quite a bit of doubt about how much higher JK's trade value is, especially given his new contract and the QO that comes with it.

Definitely. I meant prior to the offer sheet fiasco. I wasn't clear.

JK and Dube entered the league the same year (18-19), and JK's points certainly weren't "mostly before" Dube made the NHL.

After a while, pedigree doesn't matter as much. Obviously JK had obviously a higher draft position. Both guys were PPG in the AHL, Dube obviously over a longer time. JK didn't play WJC, because he was on the Habs roster, Dube did twice, quite successfully. At the end of the day, JK has had 3 seasons in the NHL, Dube's had 2.25, both in second/3rd line roles, with decent players. They score about the same rate.

2 years is a big difference when you are very young.

When I said about JK's points being before Dube, I meant at his similar age. JK's got points in his time prior to reaching Dub's age when he made the NHL.
