    Again, their ceilings are similar and they're both very young, so who knows what will happen, but right now I'd bet on the kid with the great attitude as being the likelier of the two to achieve his full potential.
    Yes indeed. This is the article I read about a year ago, and why I targeted him in a trade this season. Legit player in the making....

    LaFontaine sees Svechnikov as a cross between countrymen Ovechkin and Nikita Kucherov, a mixture of raw power and creativity. Vanbiesbrouck compares him to Los Angeles Kings centre Jeff Carter because of their physiques and the release on their shots. Vanbiesbrouck also likens the way Svechnikov controls the puck and takes it to the net to Mr. Hockey himself. “I don’t want to put him in Gordie’s category just yet, but just that raw talent of size and strength and being able to have the puck on your stick so strongly — that’s unique. I don’t see a lot of that.”

    Svechnikov not only pushes the pace on the ice, Luchuk says it’s next to impossible to keep up in the weight room when he’s at his top form. And thanks to weekly English lessons, his personality started shining through, too. Ford describes him as a joker, someone who’s jubilant and positive. He’s quick with a smile whether he’s among teammates or talking to a reporter in the stands on an off-day. His motto, “Svech is ready,” is something he says to Hawerchuk before he steps on the ice. “If something doesn’t go right in practice, I’ll say, ‘Oh, Svech not ready.’ And he says, ‘Svech always ready,’” Hawerchuk explains, laughing. “He’s just a personality. It’s infectious. He’s always on.”
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    Svechnikov, just as explosive as Laine imo, but with a safer floor. He’ll go crazy with Aho and Teravainen.

    I vote for Svech... I think he's a more well rounded player (shooter, playmaker, hits...)

    Laine uber talented sniper but not much else


    I'm actually actively trying to acquire Svech in a league... if I were to offer Kucherov, how much more of a plus should I be asking the other guy for?
