Again I have to remind you that projections are not linear. In this example you have to take in to factor the late growth spurt Borgstrom had that affected his first draft eligible season with back pains. There's 22 months separating them so all in all it doesn't mean a thing here about ceiling. We also don't know how Vesalainen translates to small ice yet or will there be consistency either carrying over to a second season (I have no doubt about that, but it's still a question), Borgstrom has done what he has for 2 seasons in NCHC at least and for a small ice.
There is no clear evaluation saying who is ahead of who, it's a personal preference and what you emphasize. Borgstrom for me is ahead of Vesalainen and I'm not the only one with that.
2 years is a lot, and Vesalainen is one of the youngest kids from his draft and his offensive development haas beeen pretty goood for over the last year.
He has size, skill& speed, that's deadly trio.
As for Borg I hope he goes pro, another year in NCAA would be a total waste, and I'd like to see him get pro games this year already. There can very well be a learning period and better to get those gone this year and be a regular producer next year on ELC.
