Parise/Zajack Vs. Carter/Richards...

[Lou is God]

I say that NOW, because I think saying FRANCHISE anything is a pretty damn high thing. I think very few guys are franchise players. I don't think Carter can be a franchise player, and I don't think Zajac can be a franchise guy, regardless of how much I like him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not claiming that Zajac is or will be a franchise player which I agree with you should be held in the highest standards and I also respect your opinion as one without prejudice. I only disagree with your assement that Zajac doesn't have the ability to revolve into a franchise player down the road.

I mean we know this; Zajac played in a much less competive league than his draft counterparts, which is one of the reasons we were lucky enough to grab him #20 overall, in fact we can say it's safe to say that if Zajac played in the juniors he would have probably gone much higher.

When we first drafted him all I had to go by was the scounting reports of him and what I read the first player that came to mind to me when it came to comparing Zajac was Mike Modano which I still see as a pretty good comparison, but someone on our site had even a better comparison and that was Kirk Muller.

Boumeester/Parise????? I don't understand?

You mean Martin or Hale? /Parise


Throw Pitkanen into the mix and NJ is behind. But I still like NJ's situation. The way I see it is Pitkanen is a 9 and Martin and Hale are both 7.5's. I like 15 over 9

Thats all I did, throw Pits in there after dude threw in Bo. Does any team have three top prospects like the Flyers have????????????

According to hfboards, Pitkanen is graduated now, due to games played. However, if you mean 21 years old and under players/drafted prospects, the Capitals and the Penguins are the only teams I would put past the Flyers. The Thrashers, Blue Jackets, and Predators are right there, too.
