Svechnikov. Scoring at a similar rate in a better league, younger, and faster.
I’ve seen Svechnikov as the better skater for awhile. On top of that Svechnikov tested better at the on-ice combine finishing top 5 overall, while Zadina didn’t place. And there are a bunch of drills that make this up. It isn’t like one circle around the ice at the All star game.Really? Whenever I watch the two I am much more impressed by Zadina's skating than Svechnikov's.
I don't know about Zadina but Svechnikov is sure overrated. He will not be a player on a Malkin/Ovechkin level, like some experts are predicting.
No one said he’s the next Ovechkin, but he could be the next Tarasenko.
