IMO Laine is closer to Matthews than Puljujarvi is and all three should be in that top tier.

2nd tier for me is Tkachuk, Chychrun, Dubois, Sergachev (who is ranked in the 2nd round?), Juolevi, Nylander, Fabbro

3rd tier for me ATM is: Jost, Gauthier, Jones, McLeod, Bean, Keller, Bellows

My current top 10 for the Flames:

1) Matthews (C)
2) Laine (RW)
3) Puljujarvi (RW)
4) Tkachuk (LW)
5) Chychrun (D)
6) Dubois (LW/C)
7) Sergachev (D)
8) Juolevi (D)
9) Fabbro (D)
10) Nylander (W)


Recent HF poll agrees with you; Laine over Puljujarvi by a bit.
http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/sh....php?t=2005473

Laine 165 51.40%
Puljujarvi 156 48.60%

It is a fine line based on some of the comments:

Puljujarvi: character; work ethic; skating; defense; age (3 weeks younger)
Laine: shot; hockey IQ; size (one inch taller); tougher.
