I am more comfortable taking the talented guy with a high work ethic and dedication to being the best player he can be.

Player A, also didn't play hockey all year so he had a ton of time to get into good shape while rehabbing his leg.
Player B just moved to North America from his home country and likely spent his spare time adapting to a different life style, learned a new language etc., while winning rookie of the year and playing in a long season through injures and mono.
