Michalek or Koltsov

[mattodette28]

leaning between these two for my keeper league prospects draft.
Who do you think has the highest potential? highest points this year?

Also, some other guys I could pick and have been thinking about: Perezhogin, kastitsyn, shishkanov, upshall, higgins...almost anyone from the 2003 draft except for the top end guys

So who would you pick?

konstantin koltsov btw

 

[Koltsov71]

I'd go with Milan Michalek.

Although Koltsov figures to see time with Lemieux, go with Michalek, especially in a keeper league.

Michalek. Koltsov is starting to be a little too hyped by some people around here.

 

[Evilo]

As all the Pens fans here I'd go with Michalek also.
However, you need to think it this way IMO.
Koltsov is a high risk high reward gamble.
He could develop into a Bure type of player, but he could also develop into an average fourth liner with speed.
Michalek on the other hand is a sure bet.
He should be no less than a second liner.

I also took Koltsov in my keeper league.
BTW, I also have Nash, Kovalchuk, Sejna, Spezza, Huselius, Leneveu, Pitkanen, etc... so I'm in a good shape for the future which means I could take the Koltsov gamble. If you don't want to gamble, choose Michalek.

Michalek is worth more right now so I would take him. Though, I like the way Koltsov is progressing.

Koltsov has shown zero ability as a goal scorer . There is absoloutly nothing in his background to suggest he will be a scorer in the NHL.
To suggest that there is a chance he could develop into another Bure is laughable. Thats like saying George Laraque may turn into Cam Neely.
Michalek.

 

[Jacob]

He was one of the top scorers at the WJCs.

Michalek

He was one of the top scorers at the WJCs.

So what. Thats a 2 week tourney. He has not shown any ability in any league over the course of a season.

 

[Jacob]

He also outscored Pavel Datsyuk, then teammate, in 00-01 (ppg-wise).

No he didnt.

 

[Jacob]

Ouch, you're right, by .01%. Point still stands, as Datsyuk is 3 years older.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Who cares if he has vnot shown the ability in the past? Everyone is picking Mickalek anyway.

 

[Jacob]

Because he/she said Koltsov had shown "zero" ability, which I disagreed with.
