Good question. The more i think about it, the harder it is to pick.

Gotta go with a slight edge to ROR.

 

[CanadienShark]

Tough call. I prefer the versatility of ROR, but think Stone is a slightly better player. Went with Stone.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Going off what Ive seen against them this playoffs; ROR pretty easily - & I dont mean that as a slight to Stone at all.

 

[NyQuil]

Really tough.

ROR has the advantage of playing the traditionally more important position.

In a straight up comparison, I'm tempted to go ROR, but compared with their peers, Stone is the better player among wingers than ROR is among centres.

 

[Krewe]

Stone is better but RoR plays a more important position. Still going Stone

stone but theyre both sick lol. cant go wrong

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Imagine them on a line together, yikes!

 

[Tony Stacks]

O'Reilly in the playoffs has another gear (Stone is great in the playoffs too), but O'Reilly is a complete game breaker. I'll take him.

 

[Sky04]

ROR, no matter how good defensively the winger is, the center position just demands more and Stone doesn't even outproduce him to warrant a gap offensively. Being a 57% faceoff man is a HUGE advantage for ROR.

Canada could ice a ROR-Bergeron-Stone line, 2022 lets go.

 

[Foppberg]

ROR. Hundo percent

 

[Angry Little Elf]

ROR

Imagine them on a line together, yikes!

They played on a line together at the world championships with Scheifele as the centre. It was pretty good.

 

[Asinine]

Gotta go with the Conn Smythe boi

Bruins made a play for Stone that trade deadline, but were outbid by Vegas. Marchand -- Bergeron -- Stone would have been Perfection 2.0

Flawed logic. Centers are typically more impactful than wingers. Typically is probably understating it.

"ROR has the advantage of playing the traditionally more important position."

 

[6ix]

Close but clearly ROR

If you have the chance, do some backpacking through Europe or Asia (or Latin America if you have some experience). You won't regret it. I started solo travelling just before my last year of university. Best decision of my life. You're at the perfect age.

Stone. ROR has become so underrated that he’s now overrated. Stone is the clear better player to the point that the center advantage for ROR doesn’t swing this in his favor.
