Bergfors 04-05 SEL 25 1g 0a 1p 18 yrs old.
Kopitar 05-06 SEL 47 g 8g 12a 20 pts 18 yrs old.
Both played for Sodertalje. Now how does that look? If your going to compare compare similar things , not things that arent a fair comparison.
LeMAD said:Here's an idea, how about comparing both players at the same age, since the're both 18 now...
So last year, at 17 and on the same team:
Anze Kopitar.................................. 5gp 0g 0p 0pts
Nicklas Bergfors.............................. 25gp 1g 0p 1pts
Bergfors has more points, therefore i win the argument
LeMAD said:Brule might have been the best player in the AHL this year, at 18. That doesn't mean he'll be a franchsie player in the NHL, but it does mean he might have really good chances. As for Kopitar, i think he was taken too high, but of course it's way too soon to be sure, for both of them...
I think he means Bergfors.44_bertuzzi_44 said:For starters, he played in the WHL not the AHL.
jtuzzi said:Brule is more physical, but Kopitar is stronger on the puck, bigger, and is a better stickhandler.

Ya I was gonna coment on this as well, Kopitar has to be one hell of a stickhandler to be better then Brule. Brule is really starting to remind me of a hybrid between Ovehkein and Kovalchuk with Peca's defensive game. He looks identical to Kovalchuk on the powerplay waiting in the high slot to unleash that blistering slap shot ala kovalchuk. He is also looks explosive on the rush ala Oveichkein sp. Brule once he fills out his frame is gonna be a real special player. Kopitar looks like he will also be an exceptional player more in the Danny Heatly mold methinks. But gotta go with Brule on this one.monster_bertuzzi said:Weren't you at that game where he scored 6 points? He's a sick stick-handler as well.

LeftKinger said:Kopitar also projects to be a superstar IMO. When is Brule expected to be in the NHL?? Will he be on the CBJ next season?? I think Kopitar will surprise alot of ppl next season.
Puckhead said:I think the real question is why do people think so highly of Kopitar? I am not suggesting he won't be a great NHLer, but what do you base that on? Other than the fact that the Kings have hailed this kid as the next great, nobody knows very much about him. He has been impressive in international play, but he is expected to not only make the Kings next season, but they are counting on him to make an immediate impact. That seems like a lot of pressure for a player who is not yet familiar with the NA game.

David A. Rainer said:That's all?! He needs to create new record categories to be any good in my book.

I didn't say hed be anywhare near as good, it's just the style he plays is very similar to a cross between the 2. If he reaches his potential i think he'll be a regular contender for the Rocket Richard trophy.David A. Rainer said:
Holy schmoly! How this guy was not drafted first overall, I will never know.
I don't mean to single you out, Surixon, as you are far from being alone in this thread, but you were the last one I saw. Everyone, on both sides of the coin, need to cool it with their comparisons and projections.
