Lundestrom. I was never and am still not sold on Norris being more than a day 2 talent. Lundestrom was a clear 1st rounder for me.

Very close but I think Lundestrom is more skilled. Both project as 3rd line centers though.

Not going to vote as I don't know that much about Norris , but lundestrom looks like he is potentially our best prospect.... kid is awesome... very high iq… a lot more offensive upside then I think he got credit for predraft…. physically built/ready to play in the NHL now if we chose to put him there. Plays solid in all 3 zones... honestly I really like the pick and super stoked to see how he progresses the next couple years.

I'd definitely wager on Lundestrom. Never really been very high on Norris personally. Just always kinda struck me as a bit of a complementary "mooch" player. If he lands in the right situation riding shotgun with some really good scorers, he could be just fine, but Lundestrom projects with more of a dynamic and involved play-driving skillset for me. Seemed a lot higher than most on Lundestrom in that draft.

Lundestrom but it's closer than this poll will suggest.

Unfortunate that polls are usually binary, even if a player is only marginally better he could win very lopsided in a poll.

I'm not voting because I'm horrible at evaluating players and don't know much about Norris, but Lundestrom looked good in what little I saw of him in the prospect tournament. I'm hoping to catch a game of his in Sweden this year.

Don’t know who Norris is but lundestrom has looked incredible for Anaheim. His play during the Vegas rookie tournament really opened my eyes. Was bummed when we picked him because I didn’t know much about him compared to more boom or bust prospects picked after him but now I am super stoked on the pick
