It is funny seeing fans disparage players from other teams because they aren't "their guy". I live in Vancouver and Canucks fans seem convinced Boeser is
at least twice the player Barzal is. What if they switched teams?
Anyway, Barzal is a beast. He was the 1st overall pick in the Bantam draft and would have gone higher at the NHL draft if he didn't get injured in his draft year. He is a great skater, has really high hockey IQ and fantastic vision. He's been hyped in the lower mainland for a long time.
That said, true top pairing Dmen are probably harder to come by. So,
Hamilton
Barzal
