a new and improved version of Neely!

without the injuries and with 60+60 seasons..

 

[R S]

i dont think he will beat jagr's career numbers....but i think they will be 1-2 all time for Europeans

 

[Dominator13]

with a panned out Backstrom playing on his line, i think 70 goals for a year COULD be done, not sure if he'l get there, but it's pssibly, especially with 52 goal rookie season playing with the likes of Danius Zubrus

 

[ChemiseBleuHonnete]

what's his potential? out of this world...

 

[The_Eck]

Ovechkin is still a prospect???

 

[TheHoser]

Teemu Selanne with less passing ability and more physical presence.

 

[Danadiens]

Own the known universe.

 

[Sundinisagod]

I think he will be the best Russian or Euro of all-time. I think he will be in the top ten players of all-time, behind Gretz, Mario, Orr, Howe, but neck and neck with Crosby.

I see many 70 goals seasons ahead.

 

[Kevin Forbes]

Teemu Selanne with less passing ability and more physical presence.

I agree with this.

 

[KariyaIsGod*]

Pavel Bure..

 

[LeMAD]

AO probably already reached his potential...

 

[Kimi]

Last season two people scored more points, so he's got two more people worth of potential to tap right now.

 

[12# Peter Bondra]

He will be a great player whose career will be destroyed by injuries. He looks great now how he plays all out but Forsberg was healthy too in his first few seasons. In 5 years Ovy will start to break down (unless he is REALLY healthy).

 

[SniperMogilny2K6*]

I dont see Ovechkin improving his offencive game. He plays like hes been in the league for 5 years.

Ovechkin = Selanne

 

[The Judge]

Here's my take on Ovechkin:

He has the explosiveness of a younger Selanne. The power and strength of a Jagr. Tenacity of a Forsberg.

Points? A 5 or 6 time 100 point season I can see a possibility.
