It's almost double the goals and 1.5x the points. That's pretty massive. And, while Bergeron may be valuable in more ways, I think Kessel has become more valuable overall. His defence has significantly improved as has his playmaking. He's made up some of the gap there, and the difference in offensive production more than makes up for the differences in other areas, as far as I'm concerned. Kessel would be the best non-goalie on most teams in the league. I don't think you can say that about Bergeron - and, the teams that it would be true for are pretty poor teams.
Eh. Hey, I like both guys. Taking my Blue-coloured glasses off for a moment, like I said, I like Bergeron better. Now when Kessel wins a Hart trophy, maybe we can look at Perry-like numbers but I have to say, I think I'm going to be pretty unhappy with any contract number that begins with an "8."
