Posted this in the Stutzle thread on the prospect board as well, just worth looking at from the meta perspective of how different the last few years hve been:
"It's wild how different Byfield and Stutzle are as players yet it's such a hard choice.
In one of these threads someone shared an Ottawa roster + Byfield and it's just full of mammoths with speed and skill, looks more like what you'd expect from a 2015ish Kings roster (maybe +/- some speed, heh). A Kings prospect roster + Stutzle would feature blazing speed and skill but average around 6 feet and fairly light. What a wild change in draft philosophies it's been.
The younger half of the Kings roster/top prospects would look like, minus Kopitar, Carter, Brown, and Doughty:
Iafallo (6'0) Stutzle (6'0) Kaliyev (6'2)
Kempe (6'2) Vilardi (6'3") Frk (6'1)
Kupari (6'1) Turcotte (5'11) Fagemo (5'11)
Wagner (6'1) Lizotte (5'7) Moore (5'10)
Anderson-Dolan (5'11), Madden (5'11)
Bjornfot (6'0) Roy (6'1)
Anderson (6'0) Walker (5'11)
Clague (6'0) MacDermid (6'5)
Hults (6'0), Brickley (6'0)
obviously that's completely arbitrary roster-ing and who knows what this draft looks like but that's LARGE departure from the past and has been factoring slightly into my Byfield choice. Some of those are pretty generous, too, heh."
