Just a fun question as that is who the Flames could have picked 15th overall last year. Had the Bruins wanted our 2016 first rounder instead of our 2015 first rounder instead.
I know we have the advantage of hindsight and Connor had a monster season but Barzal was supposed to go top 10 last year and fell to 16th.
So would you trade Alex Nylander for Matt Barzal? Who has the higher upside between these two?

Sure, but I don't think WPG is going to move Connor anytime soon and Barzal may be more prized in NYI because of how Dal Colle kind of flatlined this year.
And I'll say I've been a huge advocate of keep ing the 1st this year. I do not think it is wise to trade away your first two years in a row when you're still rebuilding. Even if you're buying prospects from a draft the year prior.
