[crthomp]

In 5 years time who will be the best NHL player from this draft class in your opinion?

Kane? JVR? Turris? someone else?

I would guess Kane.

in theory, isnt that what the scouts are asking?

In five years Voracek. I think he's the closest to making an impact. In seven to ten years, when these guy start hitting their prime, I'm not sure. Turris could be really good. I also really like Michal Repik and Maxim Mayorov.

Turris.

I think for the scouts they would be looking at guys who can help out as quick as possible. Now of course with this draft most teams will have to wait 1 to 2 years for any of these players to crack their lineup. But this draft is unique in that way.

But when I say 5 years I'm assuming the guys that are going to be in the NHL are in the NHL by that point and the guys who can't cut it have been cut or are in the AHL for good.

Turris will have the best career but in 5 years I see Kane and Alzner becoming a large part of their organisation.

In 5 years, who is the best from the 2007 draft ? Simple, Angelo Esposito will be the best doctor from the 2007 draft!


Oh ... if you mean hockey wise...

Alexei Cherepanov will be the best player in the league*!

Good thread crt, I was thinking of asking the same question.

I'm going to guess(because that's all we really can do ) Backlund. I like his game and I think he will live up to last year's "first overall" hype he was getting. People seem to forget that he was playing injured and still produced at a very respectable clip.

JVR...I think he has everything...

 

[chaosrevolver]

Voracek

 

[40oz]

Gagner and Turris

Cherepanov

Agreed, let's hope the Jackets take him.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

JVR...I think he has everything...

He was my choice. I don't think there's a player in this draft that can match his size/skill combination, which will be even more evident when he puts on some more weight and gets stronger. He'll be an animal. I actually think he's a better choice for Chicago, but I think they'll go with the quicker fix in Kane.

If he knew Randy Gregg he wouldn't make the comments he made about medical school.
