Who would you rather have: Juraj Slafkovsky or Brady Tkachuk

[Golden_Jet]

Brady
Lol at OP , no voted Slaf for hab fans.

 

[Sting]

Tkachuk will bail as soon as he realizes Ottawa aren't a serious organization.

Sorry, he'll bail in 8 years? Slaf could bail in what, 6 years? That's assuming he's still in the NHL given he could bust hard.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Brady is a unicorn. Easily him at this point . Why Is there a Sens fan option but no Hab fan voting option? Pretty curious...

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Slaf, I like his upside more.

 

[Voight]

I like how OP has Ottawa fan voting Tkachuk but no Habs fan option voting for Slav.

Its what you'd expect from Habs fans.

 

[Peat]

Tkachuk. Slafkovsky could be as good, but that's a maybe.

 

[Just Linda]

I think you'd start to be grasping at straws when naming 40 skaters that are better than Tkachuk.

Give it a try, it's quite easy.

In no particular order
McDavid, Matthews, Draisatl, Gaudreau, Huberdeau (5)
Kaprisov, M.Tkatchuk, Marner, Connor, Panarin (10)
Barkov, Kane, Crosby, Ovi, Mackinnon (15)
Miller, Fiala, Tarasenko, Lindholm, Aho (20)
Svechnikov, Marchand, Bergeron, Pasta, DeBrincat (25)
Thomas, Tavares, Robertson, Zbad, Point (30)
Kucherov, Backstrom, Eichel, Stone, EP (35)
RoR, Larkin, Rantanen, Landeskog, Kopitar (40)

Those are all players a clear tier above him, I didn't even include players that are roughly as good as him. I didn't even include dmen or goalies.

He's a good player, hes effective at what he does. He's not a top 50 player in the league though, saying hes top 30 drastically overrates and already quite overrated player.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Quite obviously Brady... C'mon this can't be serious.

The only reason anyone votes otherwise is due to their hate towards Brady/Sens/Tkachuk family.

 

[Voight]

Whoever picked Slafkovsky should get their head checked.
Will he be a star winger? Maybe. But he could just as easily be a bust or nothing more than a 3rd liner. Vs Tkachuk who has a couple seasons under his belt and you know what you're getting with him.

Ok fair enough, I concede the point

 

[Emerica]

Ooof

 

[Steerpike]

Ok fair enough, I concede the point

Instead of concede I would just shift the goalposts to: top 10 players 23 and under.

It's really just not fair to compare players who have a long proven career to someone like Brady who's just getting started.

The real class of players to compare him to are ~21 to ~24 year old players.

... which is why this poll is wildly lopsided as well.

Lopsided result.
