Lord stuff like this bugs me. Why must we dismiss others opinions just because it is different from our own?
Frankly it is close between three, so to suggest that those that picked Sven are less informed and/or educated is snobby and arrogant.
I voted Sven. I did so because I've watched all 3 of these guys to some extent - though I admit Sven the most. I still think he has the most upside of any of the 3 - though I did give voting Poirier some thought. Prospect development is rarely a smooth straight line, but Sven has already demonstrated some ability to put up points in the NHL. I'm not going to under-rate him because of one rough year.
I think Poirier is a very intriguing prospect because of his potential to be a guy other teams hate to place against - who also produces some numbers.
Granlund took great strides last year - and continues to show really good instincts when it comes to finding the puck - and the hands to then finish.
All 3 are valid choices.
