I can't comment on the subjective part of this became "more" or "less" skilled are in the eye of the beholder (though I love Alex' one-timer), but Keller's statistical peers are Jack Eichel, Auston Matthews, Patrick Kane, and Phil Kessel. Nylander's absolute best statistical peers are Matt Duchene, Mike Richards, and Logan Couture, but his peers also include Stefan Noesen, and Cody Hodgson, Josh Ho-Sang.

It's safe to say Keller's draft year body of work is more historically impressive. More indicative of a future star than just a pretty skilled guy.
