Well, no it's not. Bingo says so in the OP. Right now, when choosing the 2018-19 Flames, I want Klimchuk on that roster over anyone else. He's better and more consistent and younger than Foo, more complete than Mangiapane, more seasoned and better defensively than Dube.
He, Valimaki, and Andersson form my top-3 quite easily. I'd love to see all three in the NHL this year. But right now, for my money, Klimchuk will make the biggest difference in the NHL. He'll carve out a long career. He's among Stockton's most consistent and best scorers while being their best defensive forward and a top-2 defensive player overall on the team. I love Dillon Dube but he hasn't proven any of that yet. So based on my criteria, it's Klimchuk, period.
