In all honesty I'd take Horvat for Jooris, and I like Jooris a lot. (they are comparables stat-wise). Horvat looks like he'll be a great player. But still a secondary scoring type. comparing him to Calgary's top guns is ridiculous.
I'd take Edler for Engelland. Hamhuis seems like an idiot who gets too emotionally involved in a negative way and I think Engelland has been just as good since getting a larger role.
considering ages and player ceilings I'd take Johnny, Monahan and Bennett over the Sedins and Vrbata, 1000/1000 times... that's easy.
I like our goaltending better. I'm not even sold on Lack at all. he played well down the stretch for the Canucks and still had a regular season save percentage equal to Hiller. the difference is Hiller knows how to elevate his play for the post-season.
I guess overall you could say that I have very little roster envy for the Canucks any more. their window is closing while ours is just opening.
