Yeah, if you leave the numbers aside and just watch the two players play hockey, it's not close, Willander is easily the better prospect. The issue with Brzustewicz is that at even strength, he doesn't have a very good chance at being a top 4 type of player. Meanwhile, while he has EXCELLENT offensive instincts, the actual puck skills aren't quite up to snuff for him to project as a PP1 QB in the NHL. He could be all of those things, of course - he could somehow turn into Adam Fox II - but it's very much on the thin end of the bell curve. The Canucks literally just went through this with Jack Rathbone; over a point per game in the AHL for his first two seasons (albeit the first one a short one).
This isn't to say I don't think he's a good prospect, he's just not the type of guy who you can pencil in as "well there's our offensive puck moving RHD for 20 minutes a night 3 years from now". It's more of a lottery ticket that you're hoping hits, and if it does, look out.
