    Definitely Wahlstrom with no Faceoffs and the presence of SOG. Easy choice for me.

    Going to re-open this one... after what you've seen from Kotkaniemi in the pre-season so far.

    If people are making long-term decisions based on a couple preseason games they're not going to do well in fantasy.

    People do it after the draft takes place, too. Besides, it's just for fun.

    I consider myself fortunate to have Kotkaniemi slide to me at 10th in my draft but at this point I'd have no problem trading him for Wahlstrom if the opportunity came up.

    When was Wahlstrom drafted in your draft?

    not sure you can even really compare the two in pre-season, considering Wahlstrom isn't in camp.

    He looked really good. People are sleeping on him. In a points only league with no positional requirement, I would take him over Wahlstrom and maybe even Zadina.

    Yeah it's impressive how the kid progress since August at the rookies camp.
    He was one of the youngest drafted and can progress a lot.

    Strengths : His IQ is impressive (good playmaker), his shot is underated
    Weakness : His skating need more explosion, more weight to be stronger in NHL

    He's performing how I would expect a top center prospect should perform against AHL level talent teams.
    He hasn't really had to play against a real NHL squad so far this pre-season.

    Also, Montreal hasn't had a centre this talented since maybe Saku Koivu or Yannick Perrault, so it's very easy to see the skill stand out.

    This coming from an overly biased Habs fan, I'm still taking Wahlstrom and even Zadina over the Eagle if I had the choice.
