I like Eklund a lot but he doesn't have the same Superstar potential that McTavish has (for me).
Gap between Hughes and Edvinsson isn't big enough to make up for it.
Close poll though.

Edvinsson > Hughes
McTavish > Eklund
Not a difficult question if you see them as I do.

First group ez
I wonder why youd take Edvinsson
No clear edge for either, I'll take the guy who is 6'6"+ with a mean streak. If you want to take Hughes go for it, but its not like I said theres some significant gap between the two. Go off, though

I think you meant take the guy with the red and white jersey.
Its 100% close, but be honest with your bias, when its this close you can be.

I'm a fan of neither team and take Edvinsson over Hughes without second thought. It's hard to defend if you aren't big and don't have reach now-a-days with all these crosschecking rules and the way the game is going. The rules are going to keep trending that way IMO which is why big defensemen are so important.... especially ones that can skate. Edvinsson is definitely unicorn style his skating/hands/size/mean streak is very intriguing.
For me it's:
Edvinsson
McTavish/Hughes
Eklund
Right now as it stands but I think Eklund is getting an unfair shake here because of the situation he was put in last season.

Or I like his play style, he was more highly rated by more reputable draft sources at the draft and hes been pretty dominant against men since the draft vs Hughes still waiting to go pro. Theres an NHL GM on record saying they had him ranked first overall and hes grown an inch and a half since the draft.
I'm glad hes in red and white but theres plenty of other reasons I would rather have him

40 Game cut-off, no age cut-off. As usual, offensive impact is the main driver of my lists, bias on center, goalscoring, physical play. No goalies, that shits voodoo and not fun. Rank Name Position Team 1 Owen Power D Buffalo 2 Shane Wright C Seattle 3 Matthew Beniers C Seattle 4...
Hughes is 6'2 btw.
Nah man, youre notorious and known for it, just embrace it, you'd find a way to spin it for Hughes if he was a Redwing. Just be honest.
You're the guy who said Romanov and Seider were nearly equal prospects and Brook was a top 15 prospect league-wideI have Edvinsson ahead of Hughes by a few spot on my ranking.MrB1Ps top 50 drafted prospects

Romanov is a top pair D on a bad team and Seider is top pair D on a bad team... Looks like I wasn't far off...You're the guy who said Romanov and Seider were nearly equal prospects and Brook was a top 15 prospect league-wide
As for Brook, injuries happen.
Nah man, you're notorious for being a homer and known for it, just embrace it, you'd find a way to spin it for Edvinsson if he was a Hab. Just be honest.

Probably yeah, thats why I preferred Barron to Sanderson, Slafkovsky to Johnson, Guhle to Heinola, Farrel to Robertson and Roy to Poulin in my latest rankings.
Oh wait, its the opposite.
You are known as one of the biggest Habs homers on this site. If you're gonna call someone else out for it at least have the dignity to admit it yourself.

So you must be a red wings fan for having the exact same opinion as me? You realise how dumb you sound right
You were far off lol, Romanov isnt in Seiders stratosphere. Not everyone is a massive homer like you, and its really odd that you call me a homer for having the same opinion as you.
The hot takes you have about prospects for the habs, sure homerish. When its an opinion that is shared by many, I've backed up in this thread with legit reasons and youve said you have the same opinion as me? Super intelligent to call me out on that one, wow you got me

Yes I am human, but what you call bias was merely misevaluation from Seiders AHL year and Brook suffering career ending injuries.
Brook played 2 seasons in the AHL without major injury and was terrible. Still can't admit your homerism. Pretty sad but I applaud your effort.

No need to sugarcoat it just because he was a Habs prospect, he was terrible. 19-20 he missed 2 games. 20-21 he missed 3 games.

He got surgery in September 2021, months after his second terrible season in the AHL ended. Followed that up by getting sent down to the ECHL since he couldn't cut it even in the AHL.
