I have to say, Laine is a stud but I've fallen more towards Puljujarvi. He's not a perimter shooter like Laine. I just have a feeling there'd be so many dirty in close goals between he and Bennett feeding off of eachother that it'd be a killer duo for so many years. And the fact he is pure RW. I'm not going to cry with any of he top 3 or Nylander (he's #4 for me, FDL posted a nice bunch of quotes from scouts as to why in the draft thread), but Puljujarvi to me looks like the perfect compliment to Bennett. He Drives like Bennett, has the speed like Bennett, but has higher IQ and vision. I just have a hunch he'd be the better fit.
