    Default *REP* Ryan Sproul or Xavier Ouellet?

    Which Detroit D prospect do you like more?

    Thanks all!

    Sproul much better. He's out right now with a broken arm, but will return next month. He's got about 8 points so far this season in as many games. He's has a wicked shot from the point and his all-around game is a level higher than Ouellet.

    Too close to call at this point. Had my eyes on one of them as a third rounder in my prospect draft this year but, couldn't decide and didn't want to kick myself later on...

    That being said:

    Ouellet is in the Q, I find with some of the D men I have drafted, the Q seems to benefit D in terms of points more so than other CHL leagues.

    Sproul has played with Cousins, which I think helps his numbers.

    Both having been taken in the same round, the SAME YEAR... no help there....

    It might almost come down to the fact that Sproul is R shot since Smith is L, but that's a pretty crazy thing considering they are all prospects....

    Doubt this helped but that's all I've got!

    I'm not too familiar with these guys but whenever I read about Ouellet I hear the words 'best D-man in Q'. I'd go with him.

    Flip a coin at this point. I like what I've seen and read about both guys so far, but I couldn't pick one right now.

    I'd give the edge to Sproul. That shot is damn good.

    In points-only it's close IMO, but in roto the bigger Sproul definitely wins.

    I'm not sure Sproul will be better roto-player just because he's bigger. From what I've read, Ouellet is pretty physical player and willing to drop the gloves if necessary. Sounds similar to Kris Letang who's also not a big player but still produces elite roto-stats.

    I agree. Sproul is raw. If memory serves me right, he was a forward and had a serious growth spurt. Xavier is a nice player, no doubt. I think Sproul has more upside to go with his size and wicked shot from the point.

    It's very close, but if I had to pick one I'd go with Sproul. Keep in mind that at this point of development, so many things can happen before they become fantasy relevant. But I'm sure you don't need to be told that!

    Bob McKenzie just tweeted, "Another guy, besides Huberdeau and MacKinnon, who really impressed is defenceman Xavier Ouellet, a DET prospect."

    I'm assuming he's talking about his play in the QMJHL vs Russia games.
