  1. Would you rather have Nylander, Tkachuk and Glass (Consensus Picks) or Virtanen, Juolevi and Pettersson (Benning Picks)?

      My picks at the time of the respective drafts were Virtanen, Sergachev, and Glass.

       

      I think comparing the two lists you proposed, Nylander is far above Virtanen and at this point, there's no contest.

       

      Tkachuk is dramatically above Juolevi in terms of accomplishment so far and will likely be his entire career. This one is getting closer as Juolevi begins his NHL career, but I doubt he'll ever have the impact Tkachuk will have.

       

      Obviously, Petey has been a much better pick than Glass so far, but like with Juolevi, injuries have held Glass back so far. He's looked good in his AHL time (7 points in 8 games) and his NHL game looks to be rounding up nicely. As with the Juolevi-Tkachuk comparison, this one is getting closer as Glass begins his career, but it's unlikely he has the career Petey will have.

       

      All in all, the consensus picks (I'm not sure we can objectively call them the consensus, but they were common choices) would probably have been better than Benning's picks, unless you weigh the Pettersson pick much higher than the other two that we lost.

      I'm grateful we don't have Nylanmder's laziness and Tkachuk's classlessness disgracing our organization.  Benning was right to skip over those locker room cancers.

      @King Heffy Does Virtanen not get a bad rep for being lazy? And Nylander is a hell of a lot more talented than Jake. 
       

      And ya Tkachuk is a rat but still a good player. Marchand is a rat too and he has a cup. Roussel is also a rat to other teams. Burrows was a rat to other teams. Means nothing as long as they help us win

       

      And never heard anything about them being locker room cancers. Got a link or is that just an assumption?
