It's gonna be a crapshoot this year I think, but I'll just say that after seeing Kane walk all over my Attack this season (and in the playoffs), that he is the best player on London (he leads the offense, however Kostitsyn is a solid two way wonder), and when he has the puck, he does so many things well. He does get physical occasionally, and I wouldn't consider him a defensive liability at all.
But, if you guys all see something I don't, and he seems to be such a potential bust, could he end up being like a Geoff Sanderson at his basement? One dimensional guy who has a solid one dimension but gets scratched when that dimension is gone?
I would pick him #1 if I had the pick, but to take him over some of the other talents would be tough, because anybody has that potential to be a franchise player, but the potential to be horra-awful, like Geoff Sanderson.
And I agree with another poster, Schremp is probably the biggest boom/bust prospect in the NHL right now. It'll be interesting to see if he pans out.
