Both were joking . . . actually reviving an old joke from the Pens' and Prospects boards from almost a year ago.

So, Kovalchuk has what, 42% of Ovechkin's professionalism?Habsaku said:Kovalchuk didnt need any supporting cast to become a dominant offensive force at 20 and he doesnt have half of Ovechkins professionalism or maturity.

Claypool said:A lot of people have been saying Malkin will be better even before both of them were drafted.
nuck said:If Crosby blossoms as predicted, into a first team allstar center, I am not sure what that means for Malkin. He is listed as a center but I would imagine he will be converted to a winger so as to get him on the ice with Crosby as much as possible in which case his prospects for scoring would have to be a lot better than Ovechkin's.

Oz said:Everytime I see Malkin, he reminds me of Fedorov. A skinney, somewhat gawky Fedorov, but Feds nonetheless.
CSKA said:Its veryyyyyyyyyyyy close one ! I think Malkin has more tools , sure Ovy is the better skater,finisher and hitter but Evgeni is just the full package ! BIG,fast,can play physical game(taking hits) , very soft hands , SICK passing ability and GREAT vision.
And I disagree. Is Malkin as fast as Ovechkin ? No. Is Malkin as physical ? No. Is Malkin as great shooter ? No. Is Malkin as clutch ? No. Is Malkin as good stickhandler ? No.CSKA said:Its veryyyyyyyyyyyy close one ! I think Malkin has more tools , sure Ovy is the better skater,finisher and hitter but Evgeni is just the full package !

I agreed with that notion on draft day, but since then Malkin's development has been exponential and that "gamble" is becoming less and less.b-mad said:Just remember, with Malkin still being so "raw" (as many have put it) he has just as much a chance of becoming the next Viktor Kozlov as he does the next Jean Beliveau.
I really like Malkin and was praying the Caps would get him before they won the lottery, but he's a bit of a risky prospect. With that tall lanky frame and playing a quite different game in the RSL it's gonna be a bit of a gamble how he'll pan out....much more so than AO or Crosby.

Malkin is better playmaker, has better vision and that's all. Imo.

Malkin kind of look to create if he can, and then shoot if he's pretty much out of options.
