Compares our prospects as follows:

Derek Forbort: Willie Mitchell
Valentin Zykov: Michael Ryder
Tanner Pearson: Nick Foligno
Linden Vey: Valtteri Filppula
Tyler Toffoli: Joffrey Lupul

What do you guys think?

P.S. I would ignore the next article that calls out Justin Williams as our most expendable star, written by a different author

[Frolov 6'3]

I still think Toffoli will turn out to be a lesser version of Dany Heatley in his prime.

 

[King'sPawn]

Not really sure I agree much with any of those comparisons.

 

[haelwho]

What do you guys think?

That player comparisons are a waste of time and put unfair expectations on players.



Also, Zykov plays nothing like Ryder.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Who's this Tyler Toffoli guy? I've only heard of Tyler Toe-fooooooooooo-lee!

 

[Reaper45]

I don't think Pearson is as physical as Foligno. I hope Zykov is better than Ryder. I don't like these comparisons.

 

[Riposte!]

So far Toffoli reminds me of Jeff Carter Jr. (minus the foot speed). Always has his stick on the ice ready to shoot, shoots extremely fast, gets his shot off in traffic... Scores a lot.

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

I don't agree with any of those

 

[kingsfan]

If Toffoli is a hurt as Lupul I'm blaming Bleacher report

Also, Zykov plays nothing like Ryder.

Yeah. Zykov and Ryder are not alike. Plus the fact that the article uses a slide show makes it a joke. Why do people STILL do this?

I've vetoed all websites that do this.

 

[HolyShot*]

I've vetoed all websites that do this.

I veteod B.R. a long time ago.

 

[CNS]

I've vetoed all websites that do this.

As have I. As soon as I see lists done like that, I click the back button and never return.

Unless Alex Curry or Andrei Loktionov are on it.

 

[Jason Lewis]

Also, Zykov plays nothing like Ryder.

This.
