I get how some guys who are smallish drop etc but these two guys are almost identical in size and skating is a wash for me, I know the Rockets were better than the t birds but Barzal played 1st line everything last year including PP and Merkley got way less icetime, still scored 9 more goals and more points.
If you get a chance I'd be interested to hear your thoughts FCAV.

Was just coming into the thread to post this exactly. Barzal is nothing special, he had a lot of hype last year but wasn't even the top scoring rookie.
Nick Merkley is a better player right now than Barzal. There's been a ton of hype about the 2015 draft but if Barzal ends up a top five pick then it'll be an average draft at best.
