WJC: 2010 WJC Player Comparables

[wings5]

Who do you think the players on each team plays like from the NHL? I'm expecting to hear more from Canada and I want to hear the Elite Nations players i.e Sweden, Russia, U.SA even Finland. No disrespect to the other nations, the Slovaks and Czechs might have a few but you can't seriously compare Austria's player to any NHL player. Would love to hear about them anyways so I can watch them in the tournament.

[Jim Morrison]

Pääjärvi-Svensson - Marian Hossa

just off the top of my head

 

[Systemfel]

IMHO:

Jacob Markström - Roberto Luongo

Peter Andersson - Filip Kuba

Marcus Johansson - Tomas Plekanec
Jacob Josefson - Henrik Zetterberg
Carl Klingberg - Corey Perry

 

[No1Joker]

Mikael Granlund - Patrick Kane

Sami Vatanen - Drew Doughty

Teemu Hartikainen - Tomas Holmström

Toni Rajala - Alexander Ovechkin

 

[Manny*]

Jared Cowen - Zdeno Chara

Mattias Tedenby - Martin St. Louis

Jakob Silfverberg - Mike Fisher

 

[y2kcanucks]

Well if everyone else is doing it...

Taylor Hall: Sidney Crosby
Ryan Ellis: Bobby Orr
Jordan Eberle: Paul Kariya
Stefan Della Rovere: Corey Perry

Well there are similarities between Hall and Crosby, Hall brings more tenacity to the game and is more physcial. Almost like a Brad Richards type of player who like Hall can play both center and wing. With all due respect I don't think SDR's offensive potential is anything close to a Corey Perry.

Some of those were more of a response to other comparisons on here. Such as Sami Vatanen comparable to Drew Doughty?

Serious and closest comparison for Granlund is Patrick Kane

 

[Nordic*]

MSP plays like non gritty but faster Mikael Renberg.

 

[Manny*]

Ryan Ellis: Bobby Orr

Not really. Orr was famous for his rushes up ice, whereas Ellis is better known for his point shot and powerplay quarterbacking.

I've heard comparisons of Spezza and Kadri from some Ottawa fans, but he shoots from his off-foot like Tony Amonte aswell.

 

[um]

Well if everyone else is doing it...

Taylor Hall: Sidney Crosby
Ryan Ellis: Bobby Orr
Jordan Eberle: Paul Kariya
Stefan Della Rovere: Corey Perry

do you mean the skilled perry or the dirty perry or both?

 

[27theROCK]

Pääjärvi-Svensson - Hossa/Elias
Jared Cowan - Brayden Coburn
Nazem Kadri - Brian Gionta
Stefan Della Rovere - Steve Ott
Tedenby - Perry
Eberle - Lupuul/Cammaleri
Teubert - Jackman
Schenn - Morrow
Tatar - Huselius
Schroeder - Ribeiro
Cormier - Backes

 

[MXD]

Della Rovere screams "first seasons of Steve Begin with the Habs with more dirtyness", if you're asking me.

And Steve Begin went to the WJC, so it's not like it's a totally off-base comparison.

 

[Traktor*]

Kadri - Mike Ribeiro
Tedenby - Theo Fleury
Teubert - Jason Smith

 

[Darius Dangleaitis]

Pääjärvi-Svensson - Hossa/Elias
Jared Cowan - Brayden Coburn
Nazem Kadri - Brian Gionta
Stefan Della Rovere - Steve Ott
Tedenby - Perry
Eberle - Lupuul/Cammaleri
Teubert - Jackman
Schenn - Morrow
Tatar - Huselius
Schroeder - Ribeiro
Cormier - Backes

Seriously?

Perry is 6'3" 209, Tedenby is a generous 5'10" 176.

They probably couldn't be further apart. Tedenby is a St. Louis-type guy.

Maybe you didn't mean to write Perry for Tedenby?

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

MPS - Hossa
Tedenby - Perry
Markstrom - Pavelec
Cowan - Brewer
Ellis - Marc-Andre Bergeron
Pietrangelo - Scott Neidermayer
Stefan Della Rovere - Neil
Nemisz - Backes
Henrique - Zajac
Eberle - Cammalleri
Teubert - Phillips
Schenn - Patrice Bergeron
Cormier - Fisher
Schroeder - Gionta

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Oiler fans may be able to back me up on this but Tedenby sure plays a lot like Petr Klima. Amazing speed and stick handling, lets hope he isn't as inconsistent.

 

[brs03]

Kugryshev seems to like to pattern his game after Semin, and I can see it a little bit (he's not the same talent level of course).

Orlov's reminded me of Timonen when I've seen him play, stylistically (we should be so lucky if he ever approaches that level of talent, of course) but then it's tough to say what type of game he'll be able to play against different levels of competition.

 

[DJB]

In terms of his style of play, a few posters, including Sens GM Bryan Murray, have described Sens prospect Jakob Silfverberg as an Alfredsson type player...

Serious and closest comparison for Granlund is Patrick Kane

sorry i was not referring to ur post, i must have missed the granlund kane part. tsn likens him to saku because he brings a physicality to his game
