Tyler Seguin and Brad Marchand are two of the NHL's top young stars. They go into battle together on the ice and they're good friends off the ice, where T-shirts aren't always required.
While the two have been dominant together for the Bruins over the last couple of years, no one has ever tried to size them up against each other, so to speak, to figure out which one is better than the other. That's where Neil Greenberg of ESPN.com comes in.
Greenberg recently compiled his Top 25 Under 25 list and actually placed Seguin, a former No. 2 overall pick, behind Marchand, who was picked 71st overall in 2006. Seguin, 21, has 40-49-89 points totals in 155 career games while Marchand, 24, has 49-48-97 totals in 173 career games. Also on the list is fellow Bruins winger Milan Lucic, who checks in at No. 17.
