2005 Top 30 Prospects

[Jason MacIsaac]

there is about a 100 guys in this draft who should all be 1st rounders though. This is going to be better than 2003 IMO by far. The 1st round has alot better talent (not saying that 2003 was bad cause it is a super draft, just saying that through the top 30 in the 1st the talent is all players that could be top 10 in almost any draft year) and the top 5 talent is better than 2003 with Crosby, Brule, Anikeenko, Bertram, Latendresse you reall can't get better than that. The 2nd round is just as good as the middle to late 1st round and the 3rd round has guys who would normally be mid to late 1st round picks. This draft just keeps getting deeper and deeper while time goes on and more players emerge with their talent, it is a very scary draft year.

Where will Egor Zharkov fit in the draft? I know he is big, powerfull and has really nice hands.

He really isn't strong, and he is only like 5'11/170 not really big. He is scared of going into traffic and shys from physical play. Really offensive minded though, he should go around 2nd round. But he isn't strong or big he shys from traffic and physical play and will never throw a body check, he is all offensive.

Eagles site says he is 6`3 190.....you may be thinking of the wrong guy. Vladimir Kubus fits that mold....the little slovak forward.

Can some one tell me the cut off date to be eligible for 2005?

players have to be born before Sept 15, 1987

Ummmm.....Jack Johnson is only 6' 190lbs and that ain't too damn big for a D-man. Bertram at last report was about 5'11 180lbs and if he ups it to 6' or 6'1 then there will be absolutely no questions about his size. Btw, Crosby and Bertram last season were basically the same height and weight.

for what its worth, this is the first line in the scouting report on johnson from mckeens

Looks to have grown considerably since being measured at 6-0

so like many of the prospects, his size might look much better when we get updated reports

no just looked at my notes and the players scouting report and he is 5'10/175 and that is the player that I am talking about. I reconize the name and remember him as well and he is not a rough guy the least nor will he fight for position or anything, always looking over his shoulder.

Justin Saulnier will be in the top 30 he had an excellent u-17 and will fit in good as a top 30

I think Saulnier will be a 2nd rounder, not that he doesn't have the talent to be a 1st round player but IMO about 100 players have 1st round potential so there are going to be people left out of the 1st round who deserve to be there.
