I'd go with the Landeskog over Larsson the same way I'd go with Mike Richards and Jonathan Toews over Backstrom, Malkin, B. Richards, Getzlaf, Thornton...all players you could argue are more talented than Richards and Toews.
I could probably use that rationale for any team in the top 5 right now...but especially for my team. I want a born leader and I'd say Landeskog is the most heralded one to come about at the top of a draft class since Toews. The latest article on Landeskog and a goalie dropping the gloves over playoff intensity practices led by Landeskog just ups his value to me.
Teams have won Stanley Cups without Norris winners and perrenial Art Ross candidates....but they usually need a leader, and Ottawa should take this opportunity to find a new one with Alfredsson career in question for as soon as next season. If we can envision putting the "C" on this guy for 10-15 years, he's our guy.
