which one do you see as having the better career? huberdeau has sick hands and can score in bunches, but landeskog has the ability to play in all situations.
which one has a better year this year? better career? does either win any awards?
Tough to see who has the better career as of right now. They are obviously contrasting players in terms of style. Though I do think generally, Huberdeau's grit is underrated and Lando's hands are underrated. Huberdeau has the higher offensive potential IMO but I think Lando was the safer pick. The neat thing about this draft is that the top 4 teams all got exactly what they needed. You rarely see that.
I think they will both shadow eachother's careers very closely in terms of impact to their respective teams. They are both great forward prospects that are well rounded, competitive, and have a very visible inner fire. I put Couturier in with them and Larsson and RNH also, I think Philly got a bit of a steal at #8. Though I can't really say anything bad about Strome or Zibanejad either. But Winnipeg better hope Scheifele turns out at least as good as Cooter or that will go down as a big draft blunder. Personally I think Cooter will get his skating straightened out and he'll be a 6'4" 220 lb. tank on skates and at least a second line center.
Lando will most likely be an Av this season and Hubey will most likely not be a panther, so in terms of NHL production I think Lando definitely has the better year.
