As far as top prospects who have military commitments, see Joel Armia. Its certainly something to consider.
I have seen Barkov on TV (like most of us) and seen Drouin live many times (I live just outside of Hfx) and Drouin has sick hands. Dont be afraid to draft him.
In the end, both players are young so we probably arent even seeing the best they have to offer as both will grow. I dont think you will go wrong with either.
