[Our Lady Peace]

Which player would you start a franchise with?

RD Mo Seider - age 23, your 2022 Calder Trophy winner;

or

C Matty Beniers age 21, your 2023 Calder Trophy winner

Both are awaiting RFA contracts as we speak

No 1 Dman or guy who looks like a 2nd liner

Beniers is not even one to build around while Seider is close to a franchise player already.

I'd take the big #1 Dman. But i do think Beniers is pretty underrated and likely to bounce back to his previous year's trajectory, where he was a huge impact in helping push that Seattle team over the hump offensively to crack the playoffs.

But #1D with all the tools > what looks like probably a #1B type Center coming off a bit of a down year, needing to get things a little more back on track.

I expect Matty to bounce back and make this equal but I don’t know why anyone would take him over a consistent performer and true 1D.

I expect Beniers to be better than last season indicated, but this is Seider and not particularly close right now.

I voted Beniers, but it's disingenuous. I just don't want the poll to be as big a blowout as it is, because I have huge faith in the guy.

Honestly, the answer is not Beniers.

lol what?

I mean it's Seider but I'm still a Beniers believer. Think he could be a bit of Barzal/Point hybrid with some more time in the league. He's an excellent skater.
