"The more I'm looking at him play, the more I really think that he'll go 1st Overall in this year's draft !! He's the most complete player of all, he got it all and I mean ALL : Shooting, skating, stickhandling, size, defensive coverage, passion, offensive flair, grit and maturity !! I can't see how anybody's better than him at this point. He is burning Moncton by himself and is the most dominant player in the CHL playoffs so far. If his team wins the championship and then goes to the Memorial cup, he'll probably win the MVP and that's gonna make him the consensus number 1 overall !!
Let's face it, Patrick Kane is pretty darn good offensively, but he is leeching from Sam Gagner and Sergei Kostitsyn, he plays on the power play for the whole 2 minutes and plus the team system is base on pure offense !! If he were on another team, his numbers weren't that impressive.
Patrick Kane is very good (Probably the most skilled offesively) but he has a lot to do before becoming an affective NHLer and plus he is undersize and that's a concern if he will translate his game or not in the pros. I can see Kane going top 5, but his lack of size and defensive awareness gonna cost him the 1st overall. You read it first here first."
The Flyers have a 48.2 % percent of winning the first overall selection. Their new G.M., Paul Holmgren, has been lured into discussion with the media about a number of prospects including Kane, Cherepanov, Esposito, Alzner, Gagner among others. The notable exception among top line players -- the one he has avoided mentioning is Voracek.
If they win the lottery, I think they're going to look about and see Voracek as being an outstanding talent with no issues regarding his playing in North America, no issues regarding his two way game, no issues regarding his size or his ability to work with less than stellar teammates (although the Flyers are bound to rebound next season, that's the official motto 'bound to rebound') and they will take Voracek with the overall #1 or #2 (if V. is still available) pick.
