Re: Zibanejad (I'll Rep)
1st) I would personally go with JVR... Toronto has only played 41 games giving him another 41 to play. Winnipeg has played 48 games and Philly 46. This gives JVR a 5 game, and 7 game advantage over these players.
2nd) Next I like Simmonds, he has the most favorable lineup as EB has mentioned skating with Giroux and Raffl on the Philly top line and PP unit... He's definitely going to score and score more on the PP - As EB has mentioned, these factors make him probably the best bet with all else being equal... however, its not all equal w/ JVR's 5 games in hand...
3rd) Wheeler, and I only place him 3rd because of the significant 6 games he's already played over JVR.
It's really anyone's bet on who of these 3 perform the best for the rest of the year... but I expect Toronto to only be getting better as their rookies gain more experience and they make a push for the playoffs. You know Babcock will have the Leafs running at their full potential.
Anyways, thats my 2 cents...
