I agree Kronwall IMO will prove more things at the end of his career than Hainsey .. but in term of potential i have to give a slim advantage to Hainsey .. but his poor attitude and work ethic scare me too much ..nomorekids said:Kronwall, because he isn't a Habs prospect.
JUST KIDDING!
Ron Wilson... when did he become part of Habs management?db23 said:All of this talk about Hainsey's "attitude" is way overblown. Ron is a very bright guy and a bit of a free spirit, but just because he doesn't mouth a bunch of dumb cliches every time someone sticks a mike in front of him doesn't mean he has a bad attitiude. A lot of it is due to the cultural situation in Montreal, where Hainsey is competing with a bunch of homeboys like Bouillon, Dykhuis, and (formerly) Traverse and Beauchemin for playing time. A lot of his supposed "attitude" problems are in the minds of the French speaking press and fans. I think Ron has his moments where he would be just as happy to play elsewhere, and that may show at times. But with Bob Gainey, Doug Jarvis, Rick Green, Ron Wilson, etc. running more of the hockey operations in the city now, it should be a better climate for him to play in.
In terms of pure talent/size combination he is among the top half dozen young defencemen in the league. Statistically so far, the two are very close in terms of their play in N.A. Hainsey averaged .57 ppg in the AHL last season, Konwall .52. In the NHL it was Kronwall .25 ppg to .18 for Hainsey. The big difference is that Ron is 4 inches taller and 30 or 40 pounds heavier. When two players have the same skill level and one is so much bigger it is an easy choice.
