Now, from what I heard Kessel biggest asset is his skating and speed. But how fast is he? any comparable NHLer? Is he as fast as Ovechkin?

Haven't an elite skating and speed , but have a good one . It will not be he's weekness .

So you're trying to say he doesn't have elite speed?
If that's what you're trying to say, than you're 100% wrong.
Have you ever seen Kessel?
Probably not, but he will 8 times a season soon.
Well from all I have read about Kessel on the internet is that he has great speed and he has a extra gear that can confuse alot of players and if guys like Bergeron and Boyes say this guy is fast then it means hes realyl quick beacasue they both can fly.
I see him 1 or two time and he haven't St-Louis , Kariya speed . I know he's fast , but he will not be one of the best in the league .
watched the world Juniors in Vancouver, I thought Kessel is one of the best fowards in the tournament. Hes an awesome player. i compare him to Pavel bure. smaller player, that can fly. a player that can do stuff at top speed, and shoot real welll too.

He's a great skater,world class,acceleration is out of this world.But as a few posters have said above,he does'nt have the power to drive past guys yet.Dandy velocity on his shot too though i'd hesitate to say he's in Hully's class with it as from what i've seen of him he does'nt seem to have consistent pin-point accuracy with it like guys such as Hull.He does know how to find the open spots to shoot it though.
Passing? have'nt been overly impressed with that part of his game from what i've seen but guys here who watch him reguarly say it's a good part of his game so i'll wait and see. He seems good when the lanes are wide,not so great when the lanes are tight and he has to be creative and precise in the offensive zone.
I'd disagree. His passing was one of the things that impressed me most. I see his weakness as what's been stated here already...He can get bumped off the puck pretty easily. He needs to spend time in the weight room and learn how to fight off d-men that are all over him in corners.
