I think Kadri and Huberdeau are probably the top forwards on either team, but it's close.

Give me their C group of Wright/Beniers/Stephenson/Schwartz over ours. I don't like the Stephenson contract, but I'd take him over every center not named Kadri on our team. The blueline, I like Weegar the most on either team but the rest it's Kraken for me.

My opinion at least. I think it reiterates the strong coaching job from Huska and is another notch in the Calder case for Wolf.
But you have to compare top C v top C etc. You can't say Stephenson's better than anyone who's not Kadri when his comparable is Kadri. Is Beniers better than Backlund? I don't think so, not all over the ice. And Schwartz plays RW. Their normal Cs are Stephenson, Wright, Beniers, and McCann.
