Who are the wingers under 23 (drafted 2014 or later, TK was drafted in 2015) that you'd rather have over Konecny? There aren't many.
Marner
Pastrnak
Rantanen
Nylander
Tuch
Arvidsson
M. Tkachuk
B. Tkachuk
Boeser
Laine
Meier
Kaako
Connor
Debrincat
Ehlers
Kapanen
Svechnikov
I'm including guys like Svechnikov and Kaako even though they haven't done it yet. Am I missing anyone? TK belongs somewhere on this list, near the bottom, putting him in the top 20 wingers in the league under 23. These guys, as a group, should be the dominant wingers in the league over the next 4-5 years. It'll be a surprise if any of these 17 + TK will not be in the top 60 or so wingers in the league.
