Which of these two young stud D-men is the first one to break out offensively in NHL? And do you see any difference between their upsides?

Both of them are having good seasons so far:

Larsson has 10 points in 18 games which is good enough for 2nd in scoring for his team. The leading scorer of his team, Jacob Josefson has 12 points. No other D-man has more than 4 points for Albany Devils.

Hedman on the other hand has 18 assists in 22 games in KHL. That's good enough for 8th amongst all D-men in that league. Hedman is 4th in scoring in his team and the leading scorer (Brandon Bochenski) has 25 points in 32 games.

I think I'd have to go with Hedman there. He started to show great strides last year after he returned from a concussion. So it seems like he may be closer to figuring out the NHL than Larsson.

I'll go with Larsson on this one. Hedman has the better forwards in TB but Larsson doesn't need to share with anyone once Zids is gone. Someone still needs to pass the puck to Kovi in NJ.

Both players have similar upside but Larsson has less competition compared to Hedman.There is too many dmen in Tampa to give Hedman a fair shot at scoring points. I like Larsson more.

go for hedman. he seems to be coming out of his "growing pains" phase that many younger players go through. where as larsson is still at the beginning of his growing pains and will be very inconsistent for the next couple years. hedman has higher upside.

IMO Hedman is just a better player.

Keep in mind as well that Hedman has played around 10 games less than the dmen that are ahead of him in scoring. He would be 2nd with the same games played.

I'd have to go with Hedmen!!

Larsson, Adam.

Both will be comparable but Larsson will have the keys to the castle and Barberio will be running a large chunk of the offensive from the Bolts D (and will also be the all the rage in fantasy by July).
