This is a good video IMO.
It really articulates why I rank Svechnikov over Zadina. The vlogger compares the two based on:
1. Skating
2. Shooting
3. Passing
4. Puck Handeling
5. Defensive Game
6. Physicality
7. Hockey IQ
8. Temperment
9. Intensity
10. Age
11. Clutch
12. League Production
13. Health
I disagree with him on a couple of items (specifically Hockey IQ) but I still give the edge to Svechnikov as he does.
One thing it really made me think about is how Brady Tkachuk would stand up to these two given the same criteria. I think he'd got 2-11 against either. I think Zadina easily whips his butt on at least 10/13 of those categories. I think Walhstrom probably blows Tkachuk out of the water on raw category win count, too.
If these two are that close I go with the Czech every time. You know me and Russians
