[GOHL]

From the 2006 draft who do you think could be a future captain in the NHL or at least a great leader with lot of intensity and grit ? I mean a player like Mike Richards or Scott Hartnell.

I think Erik johnson is a gonna be a good leader/captain one day and a heck of a player.

Ryan White of the Hitmen.
Clutterbuck maybe.

OTT's Jamie McGinn. He's gonna be a hell of a player if he kicks up his development and progresses his offensive game the year after his draft ala a Carter, Staal, Phaneuf. Right now, he's thought of having a grinder future but I think his offense will take a dramatic upcurve. His production isn't too shabby right now anyways with 45 points in 51 games.

Clutterbuck was exactly who I thought of when I read the question...

Toews all the way. A fantastic leader, on and off the ice, who will raise his play to the next level when the hockey matters most. Won't necessarily be a big point producer (Pierre McGuire's out to lunch with his "Bryan Trottier type" comment), but will be valuable in so many ways.

The greatest compliment I can pay a prospect is to say he's the type who will be the best player on a Stanley Cup champion. The second greatest compliment is to say he's the type who will captain a Cup champion. That's Toews.
