Default Hindsight: Would you rather: Dougie, Martin Jones, or Barzal

Let's go back to the 2015 draft. Treliving is on the hunt to improve the back end and goaltending. He's in on Martin Jones and Dougie, and we know how that goes.

What we didn't know was that Matthew Barzal would be there at 15 - the pick we sent to the Bruins. Barzal is outscoring John Tavares this year and he plays center.

Now Dougie, I don't think it can be argued, is a home run. He's going to get his 4th consecutive 40 point season, including all three seasons in Calgary, with a 50 point season for good measure. Oh, and he's only been on the #1 powerplay for two months of that. Great work, Gulutzan. He also plays the toughest matchups with Gio, and it's clear the guy is a beast with lots of room still to grow.

Martin Jones has given the Sharks three straight years of .912+ goaltending and gone to a SCF.

So guess the question is this: with the 15th overall pick in 2015, do you take a #1C, a #1D, or a #1G? It's not every day you have that choice with a 15th pick.
