Barkov is the polar opposite of that - and he's still ahead of Olli in offensive development.

I agree. Barkov has high hockey IQ and a great 2 way game from what I watched. Hes also a young birth. Seems to check all the Flames boxes imo. Hes a year younger than Seth Jones. A year from now Barkov will be amazing considering how good he is now. his PPG is pretty close to Granlund at the same age while being much larger and defensively responsible. He just seems like the complete package outside of the trait which will not be named since we already went over that lol. I really think he would be high on the Flames list judging by their "new" draft philosophy and he is currently in the 5-10 range which means we dont have to full on tank to grab him most likely.
