Guess everyone hates the Wild's prospects... :rolleyes:

I don't see anyone "hating" any of the Wild prospects. The only Wild prospects anyone has even mentioned are Sheppard and Pouliot. As far as Sheppard is concerned, he's only been mentioned twice, and the opinion on him is 50-50. Nothing wrong with that. And as for Pouliot, nobody's saying anything negatiove about him. They're just saying that given a choice between him and Backstrom, they'd rather have Backstrom. And I don't blame 'em; so would I.

Looking at the last two draft years, there were 11 slots which had guys at the same position (F, D, G). It's probably not fair to compare a center to a winger, but these are the dog days of summer and it increases the discussion.

Simple question - Who will have the better career? 2005 guys are listed first.

8. Devin Setoguchi vs. Peter Mueller (I see Setoguchi being a sniper like Jonathan Cheechoo.)

13. Marek Zagrapan vs. Jiri Tlusty (Zagrapan is more skilled, I think he will make a bigger impact in the NHL. Tlusty has a more well-rounded game but is more two-way-forward-ish.)

17. Martin Hanzal vs. Trevor Lewis (Similar situation like in the last one, but I don't see Hanzal translating so well to the NHL as Lewis.)

19. Jakub Kindl vs. Mark Mitera (Call me a homer, but I think Kindl will become a solid top-four powerplay quarterback. Thus he will make a bigger impact point-wise.)

2. Bobby Ryan vs. Jordan Staal - Not a real fan of either player but if Ryan makes it he has way more upside of the two IMO. Skating a real issue for Ryan IMO and Jordan Staal has way overated upside IMO.

4. Benoit Pouliot vs. Nicklas Backstrom - Very very close but Pouliot due to his size and speed.

6. Gilbert Brule vs. Derrick Brassard - Again very very close Brule just because he's further along so the safer pick right now.

7. Jack Skille vs. Kyle Okposo - Okposo because I think he has the upside to be a top 6 forward and Skille will top as a third liner.

8. Devin Setoguchi vs. Peter Mueller - Very close I'll take Mueller just because I think he may break out offensively this year (even more so than Setoguchi did last year)

13. Marek Zagrapan vs. Jiri Tlusty - Tlusty because he's a much safer bet to have an NHL career IMO.

17. Martin Hanzal vs. Trevor Lewis - Lewis just because I'm really not impressed with what Hanzal has done.

19. Jakub Kindl vs. Mark Mitera - Kindl because I don't think Mitera has NHL level puck moving skills (even for a defensive D-man)

25. Andrew Cogliano vs. Patrick Berglund - Cogliano will likely has potential to be a top 6 forward and I don't know enough about Berglund to choose him.

27. Joe Finley vs. Ivan Vishnevsky - Finley will get a cup of coffee due to his masive size but I don't think either has a career.

30. Vladimir Mihalik vs. Matthew Corrente - I don't see him as anything more than a 5-6 d-man though
