The O'Reilly thread had an interesting debate brewing, and one I would like to continue, so I decided to start a thread about it.
McCabe is a very good prospect who had a great college career, and really turned it on in the AHL during the last half of the season. He's undoubtedly the more polished of the two. He seems to be a safe bet to become at the very least a good bottom pairing defenseman. I think there's a strong chance he becomes a good top-4 defenseman in this league.
Zadarov is raw at this point in time, but has a higher ceiling, imo. His size/ physicality/ skating/ shot from the point are all strong points in his game. He has that rare and enticing ability to play nasty and intimidate opposing players. Zads does have some maturing to do both on the rink and off the rink, but there are few players in the league that have his skillset.
Who do you choose to keep if we had to get rid of one?
