xander said:i don't think anyone is getting what JasonMacIsaac is sayiny. He said that Nash is RIGHT NOW a pretty one demensional player. Syaing that many young offensive players have had this problem and have improved, while true, does not refute this claim.
Well then there is nobody in the NHL who is 1 dimentional. Delmore is a PP dmen,a good puck mover, and a decent skater.....that is 3 qualities. Nash is 1 dimentional now, many other youngsters may be but we are not talking about them. Nash is horrible defensivly, not a good playmaker....he scores goals......he doesn't go out forechecking as many of you are saying. He is physical in front....every forward has to be physical in front. That isn't really a quality.BlackJack21 said:RIGHT NOW, he's not a one demensional player... period!!!
Some guys are in the NHL only for the kind of grit and physical aspect he brigns to the game.
This guy also scored 41 goals... 41!!!!
And for the low assists numbers, as I said before, he is simply the only player on this team that can score. Thats why.
One more time, you cant call Nash a one demensional player!
You just cant!

Name me a forward in the NHL who stands in front but isn't physical?BlackJack21 said:So every NHL fowards are physical in front... nice to know... I had never notice before. I really tough it was a quality.
Thaks for the hockey knoledge lesson. I feel more aware of what that sport is now.
Sincerly,

Matt MacInnis said:This is a good point to discuss.
What players are in their junior/foreign leagues does not always translate over to the NHL. Alexander Ovechkin may have played an all around complete game in Russia but that doesn't ensure that he'll be the same sort of player in the NHL. Jiri Dopita was a great scorer at home, but was not in the NHL. Darcy Tucker was an amazing goal scorer for Kamloops and now he's a pest. And so on.
We'll see what Ovechkin becomes in due time, but to call him a more rounded player than Rick nash right now is a little too forward and assuming for my nature.

Chimaera said:I'm not sure how much he can improve. He was pretty good this past season. He will get more experience, but I don't know how much higher his ceiling could be.
capman29 said:Nash is a very good player, but if someone was to choose between the two, most scouts and GM would take Ovechkin in my opinion . A stated on other threads ,Ovechkin is considered to be the best prospect since mario and that speaks volumes .

Sir Ozzie X said:Wasn't Spezza that best prospect since Mario? Wasn't Lecaviler supposed to be the Michael Jordan of hockey? Just because a player is tabbed as being the next best thing, doesn't mean he's actually reach it.

Matt MacInnis said:Man, I just realized I called Ovechkin "Ovechking". Maybe it'll be some sort of new nickname.
capman29 said:Sir Ozzie: To answer you questions NO NO AND YES SOMETIMES THEY DO NOT MAKE IT but I believe people who do this for a living than uninformed posters OK.
Sir Ozzie X said:And you know that scouts are wrong 75% of the time, right? My guess is just as good as theirs.
Next year Crosby will be "the best prospect since Mario", so where does that leave Ovechkin?
Top Shelf said:You don't know how much higher his ceiling will be? - right now he is sitting on the 2nd floor of a 20 story building. The kid just turned 20, he won't reach his prime for another 10 years.
Chimaera said:That has nothing to do with how much better he could be...
This past season he was one of the top 5, maybe top 10 players in the game.
