[Big Empty]

Draisaitl obviously goes 1st overall in a 2014 re-draft.

Point and Pastrnak would be the next two players up

Easily Pastrnak

Easily Pastrnak

Not 'easily'

Point plays the more valuable position, and just had 2 insane back to back playoff runs. Its close

He’s right, it’s not close! Point is a player I’d trade for before Pasta 10/10 times

 

[ghostingtaro]

point and its not even close

 

[NyQuil]

I have to go Point here.

 

[Bread4Life]

Point

 

[Boreal01]

Pastrnak

He's the better player and has historically outperformed Point in the playoffs (with the exception of 2020)

 

[Buck Naked]

Pastrnak for sure. Point is great but overrated.

 

[JoVel]

Pastrnak

That's not really true is it.

Point 67 games played 1.09 ppg
Pastrnak 63 games played 1.08 ppg

To say one is clearly better than the other in the playoffs is just flat out wrong. The biggest difference is in goals (Point's 36 vs Pastrnak's 27)

 

[SnakeIdol]

Does anyone remember when Point absolutely took over a playoff series against Boston?

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Pastrnak

Uh, Point has lead the playoffs in goal scoring two years in a row, scoring 14 goals both years. There may be areas Pastrnak has Point beat, but playoff performance seems an odd one to focus on.

 

[KoozNetsOff 92]

They are both great playoff performers, edge to Point for better goal totals.

Regular season is clearly Pastrnak though. Point had that 92pt season in 18/19, but that's looking like a fluke considering he has never even hit 70pts in any other season and has been below PPG in 4/5 seasons. Never finished even top 20 in hart, only notable finishes are 1x top 10 in goals and GPG (6th and 10th in 18/19). By comparison, Pastrnak has hit 95pts, 81pts and 80pts. 4th in hart, 1st AST, 2x top 10 goals (1st, 10th), 1x top 10 pts (3rd), 2x top 10 GPG (3rd, 4th) and 2x top 10 PPG (4th, 7th). They both play with great players so that's no argument for either guy. If anything it's an argument against Point because we've seen his totals plummet without Kucherov.

Answer is Pastrnak.

 

[CraigsList]

Tough call but I will go with Pasta

 

[Morbo]

Point.

Incredible C > incredible winger

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

To say one is clearly better than the other in the playoffs is just flat out wrong. The biggest difference is in goals (Point's 36 vs Pastrnak's 27)

Yet we know Pastrnak is the better goal scorer, which leads us to question the sample size and other variables such as quality of team and opponent.

If a team wants to build around a position of strength (C or D) I understand preferring Point.

In my mind Pastrnak is the more dynamic talent, especially when healthy. Point would be the ideal 1B center in my mind long term to replace Krejci rather than Bergeron on the Bruins.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

There is no easily here, but Point because he plays more of a two way game.

 

[Sheppy]

point and its not even close

Yes it is.

 

[bsu]

Pasta for regular, Point for playoffs.

Answer is Pastrnak.

But Pasta plays with Bergeron and Marchand, if Marchand went down I imagine his point & goal totals would take a hit.

Pastrnak put up a PPG pace as a rookie playing with Spooner and Lucic

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Does Point come with Kucherov? I'm inclined to vote for him anyway because he's a centre.

 

[Regal]

Pastrnak put up a PPG pace as a rookie playing with Spooner and Lucic

He had 27 points in 46 games as a rookie

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

It's the new math where you round up to the nearest 50 points.
