I'd probably go Knies actually, but will be fun to watch how they both progress over the next few years. interesting to see both Habs and Leafs fans pretty mixed on it haha
 
Close one. I'll take Knies by a hair, I think his instincts and hands around the net are just a bit better. I do like Slafkovsky's ceiling a bit more, as his shot from distance could make him a lethal perimeter weapon down the road. But I think Knies is the more sure bet to be consistent 30+30 guy. Both of these guys will be premier power forwards in a league for a long time.

I think Cullye is pretty underrated though, but he's just not quite on the same level of these two IMO.
 
Slaf is a better playmaker and Knies a better goalscorer especially in tight around the net , It's close

Both hit at around the same clip , Slaf's powerforward game is coming along nicely , both great players , I wonder if Knies gets a bigger contract than Slaf because of goalscoring , probably
 
Knies all day for me right now.

His hits and shoots and can fight a little.

4 players with 25+G and 150+ hits.

Holloway Wilson BTkachuk Knies.

These are the top power forwards in the league currently.

I think it's really close between Knies and Slafkovsky. I think there's a little bit more headroom with Slaf, but the consistency isn't quite there the way it is for Knies. And i like the way Knies game consistently brings everything you want in a complementary, goal-scoring power forward. Yes...he plays with better players, but it's not like Slaf is playing with scrubs, and i think what Knies brings to a line is pretty underrated in how much more effective it can make the players around him.

But really...i wouldn't fault anyone for picking either of the two. Can entirely justify the choice either way i think. Cuylle on the other hand, is a decent player, but not really in the same echelon as the other two i don't think.
