2004 Draft Top 6

[not quite yoda]

Who are (in your opinion) the top 6 players (in order) who will go in this summer's entry draft? I think there is a clear cut difference between the caliber of the 6th and 7th players, but the order that the elite 6 will go in is debateable. Do you see anyone else jumping up into the group and why?

I say...

1. Ovechkin (LW)
2. Olesz (LW)
3. Barker (D)
4. Wolski (LW)
5. Schremp (C)
6. Malkin (C)

I just can't imagined in today's hockey even with all the good abilities he got that a NHL scout would recommend an Arturs Irbe clone (size) type of goalie.

He's maybe a top 5-6 talent wise but he's not a 1st round pick IMHO to get draft

He's listed as 6'0 by CSS and 5'11 by Redline. Irbe is listed at 5'8 or 5'9. No comparison there in size.

Redline has him in their top 10, it's not inconceivable that teams will take him in the top 15.

Maybe you are right but he seems way smaller than 6'0, he really looked 5'8 , 5'9 to me
