Easily Dahlin.

 

[Rob Brown]

The players voted Matthews third in terms of who they would want to start a franchise with, FWIW.

 

[Snippit]

Any of them is good with me

That poll result is worth exactly 0 and makes absolutely no sense. The only player that would have made sense considering in that poll would be Dahlin.

You can rationalize Dahlin > McDavid if you want to lean on a defender a lot.

There's 0 reasoning to pick Matthews over McDavid though. Comparable players - and McDavid is better in every aspect (better offense, same age, better track record, higher projections, higher ceiling, etc).

ps voted Matthews here.

My brain tells me Dahlin but my gut says EP

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Dahlin
EP

I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

Yes and Carey Price is the best goalie in the league.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Dahlin/EP. Too hard to pick between the two.
Matthews

 

[ijuka]

Of these, I'd go with Dahlin. He's on track to become the best D in the league. I don't see Matthews or Pettersson being the best F in the league.

Those poll results are stupid. That's my point.

 

[6ix]

Matthews/Dahlin
EP

It shows that Matthews is highly regarded around the league as a franchise building block and that should, in theory, be reflected here.

Thats fine

Its still stupid as he should get 0 votes above McDavid for that poll question. Doesn't mean he couldnt be a strong 2nd choice

 

[Minnesota Wild]

I’d gamble on Pettersson. His creativity is insane.

 

[The Abusement Park]

I’d probably say Dahlin. Seems like he’s just gotten better as the season goes on. Looks like he’ll be a top 3 dman for sure going fwd.

*top 3 in the league I mean. Not #3dman lol.

 

[Thenameless]

I really wanted to vote Pettersson here, as he looks like something special when it comes to offensive wizardry, but if I had a team and had to choose I'd go with what I think is the safer pick in Rasmus Dahlin. Considering age and position, I think he's ahead of everyone else (young players).

 

[Ace of Hades]

Toss up between EP and Dahlin tbh.

 

[mattydamon]

Don't think you can really lose by picking any of these players...

Dahlin and Pettersson are rookies in the league. No shit they would vote Matthews, they've seen more of him already..

There is zero rationale for Dahlin over McDavid, zero.

Dahlin is much closer to Matthews than he is to McDavid, that's really not even debatable.

I'll take the sure thing in Auston, but can't go wrong with either 3. All 3 are in the same tier.

Dahlin

<Until Canadien fans bring up the goalie one, then that poll means f*** all>

33 year old Patrice Bergeron finished 4th with 1.7% of the vote in that poll. It means nothing.
