If You Had A Top 5 Draft Pick In The Past 2 Years To Play With The Sedins...

[Sandro17]

Who would you choose and why?

[Van_City123]

I would probably say Gabriel Landeskog, the guys the real deal, Can hit,Can Score.

[CanuckRow]

Tavarez or Stamkos.

my bad for some reason didn't notice in the past two years. Landeskog for sure.

[canuckfan_sincebirth]

Yeah I'd agree with TheCanucksRock, he would be a stud

on the first line with the Sedins.

and Stamkos and Tavares are both c's. Thought i'd throw it out there.

[Franz Liszt]

Van Riemsdyk.

Fine... past two years: Brett Connolly

[Pimp C]

He said past 2 years... So I would have to choose Gabriel Landeskog or Taylor hall.

[Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw]

Judging by the answers I've seen so far... I pick Sidney Crosby.

[Taelin]

Judging by the answers I've seen so far... I pick Sidney Crosby.

[uber_pwnzor]

Tavarez or Stamkos.

After seeing what he can do playing with a gong show like Calgary I would love to see what Sven Baertschi could do with a pair like the Sedin's. Sadly, he went 13th overall.

[Edler Is a Beast]

I agree about Landeskog. Think he'd be a good add on th first line.

[guyfromblackcreek]

Taylor Hall! I like the way the kid plays and I think he would really kick some butt paired up the Twins!

[Aaron Rome's Elbow]

stamkos is a c but scores all his goals from the wing anyways

i would go with connolly or skinner, but they're both centers too

[MikeyD]

Can't believe nobody has said Nugent-Hopkins. He's got unbelievable vision from the half wall.

[johntobes]

Tavarez or Stamkos.

[Stark]

I'd go with any of EDM's "Kid Line". All 3 have exceptional talent and are phenomenal players.

[Grape]

Landeskog

Why does it have to be a top 5 pick?

There is nobody in the last 2 years that can play with the Sedins - Landeskog being the closest.

Sedins are not physical, and need somebody with speed, grit and great defensive awareness to play with. No rookie or sophomore in this league is ready to play on a consistent basis with the Sedins - they need to be really good defensively, and none of the choices from 2010 and 2011 draft class meets that standard.

Taylor Hall is all speed but not defensively good. Neither is Landeskog - though he plays a more complete game than Hall. Seguin is still learning, and so is Connolly. Skinner and RNH are too small and not physical enough, nor is he great defensively.

What works with the Sedins is a hard-working physical, speedy, winger with great defensive awareness.

Raymond has been playing more physical as of late playing with the Sedins, and he does possess good defensive awareness. We'll see if that will work out, but IMO Burrows and Hansen are the best fit on this team for the Sedins.

[DollarAndADream]

Landeskog for sure.

[TheCammer]

Landeskog would be interesting.
