I went Poirier. Breakaway speed is so huge in the NHL. But he also has a great shot, tenacity, skill, etc. Very well rounded. I think his game will adapt quite well to the NHL eventually and he has a high upside too.

I agree. Poirier just seems a little more aggressive tenacious. I like Baertschi's skill, but I don't like his laid back style and attitude.
