![]() That’s plenty of major differences for me to close the skating gap and make me think he will be the superior pro.īultman: It sounds like you’re split on the evaluation of these two centers, not just the value of their profiles. But otherwise Danielson is 2.5 inches taller, with better skill, finishing ability, and overall track record of scoring. Moore gets a significant edge in the skating department, there’s no question about it.
