Bernier and Eaves. Bernier looks like he might break out big time this year. Eaves scored 20 goals with little ice time last year. I'm big on Penner as well. I don't think any of the picks will be a bust.
Gentlemen,
I have about 12 hours to choose 2 of the 3 guys mentioned above. Who has more potential and which current players could their potential be compared to? i really need help here. i am leaning towards brenier and penner but i really like eaves (Top line in Ott and 20G last year).
Bernier had 3 goals on 3 shots against Kiprusoff tonight.

as far as points go. Bernier and Penner are close, but Penner has produced well in the past year.
Yeap. Playing with a vastly superior team with guys like Perry and Getzlaf while Bernier played with Plihal and Kaspar and Clowe and Stevenson.
Penner is also 30 months older.
As I have said...I like Penner. But he's no Bernier.
Good point, you are right.
Still.....his club scored almost 100 goals more than Cleveland indicating how much more talent was on his team.
And Bernier dominated in a higher league, the NHL, and is over 2 years younger.
What are you more impressed by?
uh.. no try again
Dominated? I don't think Bernier dominated at all. Nor did Penner, or Eaves.
Pepper said Penner dominated Bernier in the AHL. My response was that Bernier dominated Penner in the NHL
Ah, well, it didn't help that you didn't state that exactly in your response. But apologies, misunderstood.
You have to keep in mind though, Penner had fewer games in the NHL that Bernier did, and Bernier also had Thornton and Cheechoo.
Bernier played with Marleau and Michalek. While Patrick Marleau is obviously a very good player and Michalek will probably become one, Milan was a rookie last year and not a huge help to Bernier's development. Playing alongside Patrick Marleau is nice, but Bernier's call-up was a big part of the reason that line played so well down the stretch.
I still think Penner has more potential
One of the funniest things I've ever read here.
He only played with Perry and Getzlaf for a small amount of games, you are overlooking the fact that Penner stepped into a pressure filled situation during the playoffs and was a GIANT reason why his team went to the WCF's, oh and he didn't have Patrick Marleau feeding him scoring chances either..he was the one feeding chances to the likes of Joffrey Lupul. Don't judge on his goal total, although he does have a good shot.Yeap. Playing with a vastly superior team with guys like Perry and Getzlaf while Bernier played with Plihal and Kaspar and Clowe and Stevenson.
