Better contract: Laf or Slaf?

Development is not linear though. If it were Nail Yakupov would be a star.

Of course. Lafreniere or Slafkovsky could regress. But without concrete signs of regression, you may as well say the equally vague "Anything can happen".

Eh, not really. You're making it out to be like some lottery ticket. Neither will have to regress, they're both probably going to progress. However, it's perfectly plausible without saying "anything can happen" that Lafreniere will progress more. I've said this a number of times he has a very valid claim to be the second best forward on a cup contender. And I know they're both a few years in, but would it require that much imagination for the guy that was the much better prospect at the time of the draft to end up better?

Perfectly natural to imagine your team's player progressing better than a rival's player.

I'll take my team's player. He's only 20, already advanced further and faster than Lafreniere did at the same age, and he appears to still be on an upward trajectory.

I guess we'll see...

It also possible than Slaf Will be twice the player that Laf will ever be

Chadkovsky is PPG right now, while also being more physical than Lafrenière will ever be, and is also younger. And he's not playing with Panarin, btw. Suzuki is great, but not "Panarin" great

You can't call the bias of other when you are yourself super biased

No idea who to pick , both are probably going to be great contracts
