I would pick Bourdon ahead of Parent. I don't know if that's the same as saying he's better, or that he will be better. Bourdon just has a bit more zing to his game, in just about all areas: he tries things on offense, he tries to make some hits sometimes in his own zone. Because of that, yes, he gets burned more often. He also gets more points. But I think he's smart enough that he could play just as effectively as Parent, if you chained him down a bit. Bottom line, he has more pizzazz, more upside. So I would gamble on that. But I really don't know if NHL scouts would go that way. I sort of feel like they wouldn't, but I guess it only takes one rebel to make the draft order land in Bourdon's favour. Anyway, I wouldn't cry very long or hard if I got either player in the draft for an NHL team. I'd be a bit happier to get Bourdon for a fantasy league team, though.
