That's the two pools we are comparing +/- a few other depth considerations.
What I know of these two groups, I'd easily take ours. Much better depth & high-end ceiling for the top few in either group are relatively similar (frankly, Roy & Mesar may well have the highest pure ceilings of the bunch)
I don't think you get it. No NHL GM would take ours over the Flames. There are 2 ready NHL players at the top vs. 0. For all we know, none of the Habs players could hit, and none of them is over 50%. Pelletier and Coronato are 90%.
Before you tell me, "but look at the others" - you are trying to make a point that a bunch of 10% probability guys are better than their 10% probability guys, it doesn't make for a very strong argument. I agree we may have one more 30-40% guy than they have, but the prospect pool with 2 x 90% vs. 0 is the better one.
We're obviously set to pass them as Coronato and Pelletier will graduate. Next summer we'll probably be over them in ranking and hopefully, a few of our guys will progress and we'll grab a good forward at the draft.
