There is no stereotypes going on here and simply a matter of differing opinion on two different players just like it would have been had it been about MacKinnnon or Druin with the 2nd or 3rd overall pick for the Flames. One of them would have been ahead of the other in the poll just as there is here and it has absolutely nothing to do with the nationality of the players and simply the prospect that a small majority thinks is the better pick. Monahan may still be the guy that the Flames pick but accept that some fans would rather the Flames take the Swedish guy.

That's completely fine. I get that.
My point was more that people on here justified their choice of either Monahan or Lindholm by degrading the skill and ability of the other player. I just find it kind of counterproductive to peg either player as lesser to the other. I'm excited to either one in the Flames system due simply to the fact that we'll finally have a centre in the system with skill regardless of which one it is.
