Boomhower said:Well he might have top 6 upside for the Phantoms, but his lack of hands give him virtually no shot at scoring with any regularity in the NHL.
Mats Sundin was apparently very fast when he was around 20 years old. Before he got up to 220 pounds. A very similar physique to Jeff Carter at a young age, very lanky but quick.King Fish said:What Carter has over Sundin and Primeau NOW is speed. He has also put on a little weight, at camp he is listed at 6'3 200, he could stand to put on some more lbs.
DaveyCrockett said:Power Forward is one of the most overused terms by fans and the media. It should really only apply to big nasty bastards who can score. None of the aformentioned prospects has shown enough of a mean streak to be coined a power forward. Stewart and Ladd have potential as a PF but neither is deserving of that title at this time.
Fleury14 said:I've thought of Carter as more of a hybrid of Thornton/Modano for style of play. Moves around in the offensive zone/near the net like Thornton but skates like Modano. I guess, in a way, that is sort of like Sundin.

paxtang said:That's you opinion, and your entitled to it. I'll wait to see how he plays in his first pro year, but everything that's come out of camp has hsi wristshot as great and a great slapshot. IMO he has scoring line potential in the NHL.

db23 said:What do you mean as "power forward"? If you mean big strong grinder type wingers, I think they are all fairly equal. But I don't think any of them will be a "power forward" in the sense of a Brendan Shanahan or Jerome Iginla or Ryan Smyth. None of them will be prolific scorers at the NHL level.
Puckhead said:Primeau and Sundin are both well over 200 Lbs and taller aswell. I don't see Carter having Sundin's speed when he finishes growing. He also does not strike me as on overly physical player, despite his size.
db23 said:Carter only had 65 points this year in the OHL.
Flames Draft Watcher said:Lemme get this straight, NONE of these 4 top prospects will be prolific scorers in the NHL? Seems unlikely given the odds and the calibre of prospects we're talking about. I watched Carter in the WJC camp and he looked very, very impressive, a high calibre prospect along with most of them.
yet another db23 post that leaves me shaking my head. Go look up some more stats while the rest of us actually watch these players and form some opinions with some basis to them.
GorillazXL said:Anthony Stewart has the size and strength, but I can't see him being a big scorer like Horton. IMO he'll be a type of player you need on a cup winner, tough but skilled enough put up some points. 45+ pts/ season
Puckhead said:How do the likes of Anthony Stewart, Jeff Carter, Lauri Tukonen, and Andrew Ladd compare to one another? And who looks to be the guy who could step in to his teams plans and contribute?
Scottkmlps said:I would put Dustin Brown in their before Tukonen. Brown has Deadmarsh clone written all over him.
guitaraholic said:Blues have a trio of guys with supposedly decent offensive upside who *can* play a power forward type game: Carl Soderberg, David Backes and David Fredriksson
