Use whatever criteria you'd like to justify your choice whether its who is currently better, who would you take moving forward etc...

Ottawa will automatically lose this poll as one of their guys isn’t in the NHL.

Still, a good crop of players across all three teams.

this was my first thought as well but took the ducks duo, although Detroit will be close and Ottawa still has potential.

I thought Stützle would be having a mini breakout season but it's just not there.

I mean right now it would be tough to pick the ott duo over either of the other 2 listed.

Sure, but it’s such a small sample of games for all the teams that it’s pretty hard to be conclusive for anyone.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

That Ottawa group still has incredible potential, but they don't belong in this poll.

I'd go Detroit over Anaheim, because I don't think Drysdale has been quite as good as the other three, but both teams are still in great shape here.

LOL, sure, for the next couple of months.

 

[sens13]

Sens duo shouldn't be in the poll yet, wait till Sanderson plays in the NHL lol. I'd go with Detroit.

 

[majormajor]

I have it clearly DET > ANA > OTT

I'm very bullish on the Sens duo though. I think Stutzle and Sanderson are both going to be high end players.

Don't look now, 7 pts in his last 7 games.

With all of the Covid protocol issues and lineups being completely f*****d up for alot of teams this might be a write-off year for some guys and not very indicative of their long term progress.

I still think the ducks duo has the highest ceiling but time will tell.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

LOL, sure, for the next couple of months.

Lucas Raymond is a beast, but I think the gap between Zegras and him is slightly bigger than the gap between Seider and Drysdale. So I went with the Ducks duo. Also hard not to take the c+d combo over the w+d.

But then again, Dixon is the best player in the poll so...

 

[InfinityIggy]

Ottawas guys (Sanderson) feel a little further away so a bit apples to oranges.

Detroit v Anaheim is really, really close. Can’t go wrong with either but I picked Detroit just because Raymond has been so surprising so far.

Uhh... Seriously?

I'd put Raymond/Zegras/Seider all pretty close with a gap to Drysdale. (And that's not a knock on Drysdale)

Ottawa will automatically lose this poll because their representative young forward and defenseman are both clearly behind the others at this point in time.

What’s your reasoning when Raymond’s having a better season than zegras as a rookie while zegras is in his second season?

 

[Pavels Dog]

All 3 teams should be pretty happy about how these drafts worked out for them.

But right now it's DET > ANA > OTT for sure.

Personally, I would be happy with any of the 3 forwards even if Stützle is pacing a little behind what I expected.
However I feel the gap between Seider and the other two D-men is pretty big, they would need to close that significantly to make me consider ranking another duo ahead.

Not sure why people are getting mad about the “gap” thing. I didn’t say it was a big gap at all.

 

[Xspyrit]

Well,

Zegras turns 21 y/o in March and Drysdale turns 20 y/o in April
Raymond turns 20 y/o in March but Seider turns 21 y/o in April
Stutzle turns 20 y/o in January, Sanderson turns 20 y/o in July (youngest here)

Jake Sanderson is also the only guy who hasn't played in the NHL so of course it's going to influence people

These 6 guys will either be elite or near elite so it's going to be close but in 2 years or maybe less, it will be Ottawa - Anaheim - Detroit

Zegras is rookie.

Meh, in a few months Sanderson will be in the NHL to stay.

 

[Panthaz89]

Zegras is rookie.

he played 24 games last season...

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Detroit is the best combined duo right now, but I think Zegras is the best player. The Sens duo are a season behind Seider and Zegras in development though so we will see where they are at next year.
