I did this poll a month ago…lol

Buffalo. Dahlin/Miro is pretty close to even. Tage is better and plays the more important position, so that swings it to Buffalo.

 

[Connor McConnor]

Buffalo and it’s not even that close.

For me, it’s the reverse. Thompson and Robertson are pretty close and Dahlin over Heiskanen is what puts it ahead

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Both Dallas players are better, I take them.

 

[Kcb12345]

The Buffalo players are flashy highlight reel type guys so they'll probably win, but it's close

 

[nergish]

I think they're pretty even.

But could you imagine Robertson on Thompson's wing, and a Miro-Dahlin D-pairing?

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Tage = Robertson

Dahlin > Heiskanen

Both Dallas players are better, I take them.

Opposite for me. Buffalo on both.

But all 4 players have immense potential, so we'll see how it ends up

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

I like Robertson more than Thompson, even considering position. Concurrently have Dahlin further ahead Heiskanen by a slightly larger margin.

Would take Buffalo, but it’s close.

 

[LT]

Pretty even, as a Stars' fan. Thompson being a C lets me defer the choice to position.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Sabres pair, Thompson is a magical unicorn with his combination of size and skill, Dahlin is not that far off for being a magical unicorn. This is no sleight on the Stars pair, but just that the Sabres duo presents a rarer combination.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Both pairs are amazing but Buffalo's pair bring more to the table IMO
So I went with them

Nothing against Dallas, I'd take them in a hearbeat too

 

[Three On Zero]

Heiskanen > Dahlin
Thompson > Robertson

Pretty close

 

[Matt Ress]

As a completely biased Buffalo fan I voted Thompson/Dahlin but there's 4 really good young players here.

 

[Albatros]

Dallas, if only narrowly. I'm not convinced that Thompson can ever be a legit 1C so his positional bonus isn't that big.

He's doing it this year though? Even last year, he was a legit 1C even if he wasn't nearly as productive as he is this year...........

He's big, can move well and of course score, but overall his qualities are those of a triggerman winger whereas playmaking, defensive duties, or traditional centerman chores like faceoffs aren't his forte. That's not to say it was a mistake to move him to the middle position, but it's difficult to build a winning team around him as the 1C.

OK, he sucks at faceoffs.....that I give you. But his vision and playmaking are kind of high-end. And his defensive ability has progressed to the point that he's a main PKer right now. And boy howdy did he blow as a winger.

Lots of teams would love to have Tage as their 1C. Lots. Right now, he's a top 10 center in the NHL.

 

[Snowsii]

Cant go wrong with either duo..

 

[Unspecified]

Dallas duo without thinking twice. If you honestly think it's Buffalo's pair you box score watch the Stars. People assume that since Miro is not putting up 50+ points is he not viable compared to others. Dude is just on another gear that most others D men but unless you watch him play a lot you will never see it. Both Thompson and Robertson are a wash, they both are highly gifted so it comes down to Miro vs Dahlin.

 

[lawrence]

ohhh my god, Buffalo. Tage Thompson is pretty much the 2nd best 5v5 player in the league right now.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

ohhh my god, Buffalo. Tage Thompson is pretty much the 2nd best 5v5 player in the league right now.

What happens when he isnt?

 

[Zach716]

Tage = Robertson — the 6’7 center wins out
Dahlin > Heiskanen ainec
