It's always been TT vs. Janko and Sieloff, or Janko vs. Maatta. If we were going to cherry pick a comparison it would be Hertl.

And yes, it's Shinkaruk vs. Poirier. I'd also say Klimchuk vs. Zykov is a fairly natural comparison (though I'm also interested in comparison to Petan and Lehkonen).

There are two different comparisons: comparing our pick vs. the best pick is a measure of how far we are from optimum (although optimum is a complete fantasy). Comparing our pick vs. the obvious pick is a reasonable measure of opportunity cost.
