Which duo would you prefer? Homer voting the flames, but I think it’s close.
Draisaitl will probably win due to riding unsustainable percentages to a career year he'll never hit again, but next to Backlund and Frolik in a normal year he probably doesn't score much more than Tkachuk just did. I think they're pretty close. Then Bennett is a pretty useful tweener forward who still has some upside, whereas Poolparty looks like a bust. It's close. I'm leaning Calgary for now unless Draisaitl can show he can center his own line at an elite level or Puljujarvi shows something to justify his draft position
I think despite how much of a bust Pulju is, the 50 goal scoring 100+ point player edges it.
You really are a homer if you don't see it that way.
Well this is easy Tkachuk>Draisaitl, Bennett>Puljujärvi

Well it's basically Tkachuk and Bennett vs Draisaitl.
I value depth a lot and getting 2 useful players is often better than 1 so for me it's close. On the other hand, Draisaitl is the best player and a center.
I think if you have a great #1 center already Tkachuk and Bennett is better, but if not then Drai. Pick for blank lineup? Drai so i have that center figured out right off the bat. So voted for him.
Tkachuk scored 48 of his points with Mark Giordano on the ice and 32 of his points with Gaudreau/Monahan on the ice.
Defensive linemates matter. Special teams linemates matter. You can’t act like they don’t exist.
Leon Draisaitl is so elite that Tkachuk just bounces off of him.
