Don't get me wrong, Landeskog is a fine player, and a guy that I'd have on my team any day of the week, but RNH is a truly elite talent. My one worry about Landeskog is that Stu saw his upside as a 3rd liner, the kid is so much more than that.

All this talk about RNH and Larsson when landeskog is the best of the three and thought from day 1 he should have been picked. More to a hockey player than scoring on the power play.
Best check out EV point production there, big guy...

Not saying RNH is not an elite talent at all. Just saying Landeskog is a more complete player and you basing your opinion on points alone is not a fair comparison.
There is no doubt landeskog was NHL ready with NHL size and weight. RNH still needs to add 15 to 20 lbs of muscle. The true test to see who will be a better pick will be year 3.
RNH has the much higher ceiling, if he even comes remotely close to his top game we could have a Franchise center for the next 10 years. (possible 100 point guy)
Landeskog will be a star no doubt but IMHO will top out at around 60-75 points

Good points but like i said, a hockey player is much more than scoring points. And not saying at all RNH isnt defensively decent because that more than anything is what I have been impressed with. He does need 20 pounds of muscle or he wont last 5 years in this league.
