Bluesman said:Who do you think will become the better goal scorer, and why?
Tough call. I'm a Sabres fan, but I have to lean towards Zherdev due to possible future linemates. Vanek is one helluva offensive force though - I see lots of PP goals being potted -Large_Farva said:I'd like to wait and see first but... Zherdev will be the better offensive player but Vanek will be the better sniper.

Also Zherdev>Vanek.
Fake Plastic Sabre said:No, I think it's more like
Zherdev = Vanek.
Vanek is more of a natural goal scorer. He's so clutch it's sick. Zherdev will probably score more goal and points because he has Nash feeding him the puck and vice-versa and soon enough he'll have Brule, too.

Vanek=Better goalscorer.
Zherdev=Better overall offensive player.
Vanek has very underrated passing skills. Don't let the number of assists he had last year fool you, I saw him make many unbelievable passes. He has extremely good vision and I think he will surprise a lot of NHL fans when they see him.Kritty said:Had to come from a Sabres fan. How on earth can you say that Zherdev and Vanek are equal players at this point. Zherdev has done his scoring at the NHL level while Vanek has done his at the AHL level. There is no comparison. Until Vanek outdoes Zherdev, it's easily Zherdev in this case.
And to whoever said that Zherdev is a better goal scorer and Vanek is the better overall player needs to watch more of both. Zherdev can do everything offensively while Vanek is a scorer, end of story. That comparison is completely opposite.

Zherdev will be feeding Nash. Zherdev's the playmaker of the two. Nash is the scorer.
Let's remember who won the Rocket Richard award last year, now.
