Since I've only seen Johnson play, I have to go with him.
Stralman is a very intriguing prospect however. It will be interesting to see how his game translates to the NHL.
Still, I can’t say Stralman is at the same level of prospect yet. It is too soon to completely ignore the 213 pick difference in their draft positions (I know draft position doesn’t really mean squat in the long run, but I do think it has to mean something only 2 years after), especially when Johnson has done nothing to show he shouldn’t have been a very high pick.
Of course, that doesn't mean Stralman isn't proving that he is much more than a 6th round pick. I wonder where he would go if the draft was redone today. Probably 1st round, but how high???
