Laughton over Konecny for me just because he already made it to the NHL.
Konecny has the higher ceiling though.

Are those Parks votes over and over again some kind of an inside joke I dont understand?

Why? He'll probably be a 3rd line center next year, at 21. When he's 24-25, I could see him being a solid top 6 player. I get that we don't have room right now at center because we have Giroux and Couturier, but that doesn't mean that the guy won't be a top 6 level player, wherever it is.

Don't think there's enough offense there. Being a 3rd line center isn't a slight. Top 6 centers are hard to find.

 

[Curufinwe]

That 2010 list is brutal.
