Description
This is a weird theme but I thought it be fun.

I am going take the last 10 years the leafs drafted in the first round. I am going to take the best player in that draft where they were sitting. So I can pick someone like Mcdavid in Marners draft. But in the case of someone like Tyler Biggs I can select someone who was the best at that 22nd pick

Tyler Biggs = Nikita Kucherov
Stuart Percy = Johnny Gaudreau
Morgan Rielly = Morgan Rielly
Fredrick Gauthier = Shea Theodore
William Nylander = David Pastrnak
Mitch Marner = Mitch Marner
Auston Matthews = Auston Matthews
Timothy Liljegren = Maxime Comtois
Rasmus Sandin = Rasmus Sandin

Liljegren = Comtois in reality. Both would be great NHL players.

Comtois is a first line player. Liljegren is a bottom 4D

Seems premature to think Comtois is a stud. He's only played 10 games so far...

Top-6 winger and top-4 Dman. Pretty equal.

Pump the breaks Comtois has only played 10 NHL games so far. Far too early to think he's a top line or even top 6 player

I think he is. I watched him for couple of years and Im pretty confident in him being very good top-6 LW.

Lets be real, both players are going to be great. that being said I can see Comtois has a bigger upside but again top 6 wing = a top 4 D so ... pick your poison

Is that because he was Captain at the World Jrs? It's also worth pointing out that captains aren't always good players.

If you've been watching him play in the Q than you probably have the best scouting report on him for this thread but from what I've seen he had a handful of good games at the NHL but I thought he looked average at best at the world Juniors compared to his peers. People might just be excited by good results in a very small sample size.

Not sure how you can say that yet. Comtois looks pretty good yeah and currently is further ahead than Liljegren but to assume he's going to be a bottom pair guy is awfully bold. He was the top RHD defenceman for the Marlies in their surprising playoff run and that isn't a small accomplishment for a 20 year old playing against men. I do think Liljegren was wrongly projected as an offensive force. He is not at all a Karlsson type of defenceman. I see him being more like Strahlman type of guy. A terrific skater, positionally sound and good at skating the puck out of trouble and being all around solid if not spectacular.

Not just Q but WJCs and tournaments and so on. He is that type of player who is consistent but not exactly shiny. He hasnt been that good on NHL level as well. He had great point totals, but wasnt that shiny or particularly incredible. Just like what his seasons in Q were. But he has strong chance of becoming top-6 LW because he has the determination and tools to be it. BUT as for WJC example thats really like 6 games or so as well. He was a good leader for them. Not the greatest player of them all, but solid performance from Max.

That one is not as bad as other years.

Been done to death anyways.

Logan Couture over Zach Hamil
Kucherov over Kohklachev
Gaudreau over Camara
Skjei over MSubban
Pesce over Arnesson
Barzal over Senyshyn
Chabot or Boesser over Zboril
Carter Hart/Debrincat over Trent Frederic

Could do this all day. For every team. It is what is.
