They were both sought after FA's, and both were considered to be coup signings, but I wouldn't consider them to be on the same level. Mackey was easily the #1 D man available, and has a much higher ceiling than Poolman. Mackey has much more offensive skill, and size, where Poolman projects as a more physical, stay-at-home type with grit.
