I think they are more comparable to those 2 as prospects than you give them credit for.
Hall had 20 more points in the same 57GP as Nico and then put up 17G 35 points in 19GP in the playoffs. Once again I'm not talking about how good Nico or Patrick will become or how good Hall is now, I'm just saying at the time they put up better seasons in their draft year and were seen as more of a sure thing. Patrick was supposed to be the clear cut #1 and then faltered maybe due to injury and wasn't that much more impressive than the season before. Hischier played his way into the picture and rose up the draft board all season, both are going to be great players I just don't see the same hype as that Hall/Seguin draft.
Also Yak was good, but not great, 68pts in 42GP. Crazy how much he has struggles and still seems committed to N.A. and not wanting to bolt to the KHL.
