(*unless one of them is a goalie or something)
And that's your prerogative but that mindset can be questioned when you are comparing taking completely different paths to the NHL.
Which is to say, Granlund has had the OPPORTUNITY to play in the NHL where as the other two in this poll haven't because they are playing college.
So fundamentally, using that as your decision criteria makes little sense. If it you would have rated Markus Granlund about Johnny Gaudreau at one point.
