Willander is a better skater, he's a better defender, he does not shy away from physical interaction like Hunter.
Willander has gone from BC's 7th d man to playing on their top pairing as he has adjusted to the North American ice.
I think Hunter is great. There are reasons the US passed over him for the WJC despite leading the OHL in scoring.
Thinking they are equal is showing a distinct misunderstanding of their current development cycles, what their skill sets are likely to develop into and how likely they are to develop.
