Reverse Prospect Comparison

[regdunlap7]

Instead of naming some prospects and asking for their NHL comparisons, I'm going to name some current NHLers and am interested in seeing who people think the most similar prospect is:

Chris Pronger
Brett Hull
Alexei Kovalev
Mike Ricci
Scott Gomez
Martin St. Louis
Brad Stuart

Feel free to add your own and let someone else come up with their comparable prospect.

[Mess]

Alexei Kovalev-- andrei kostitsyn
Chris Pronger-- heu cam barker
Martin St. Louis-- kyle wellwood or corey locke

I just put you on my Christmas card list for that one ..

I will add

Brett Hull = Jeremy Williams

 

[rnyquist]

E. Nabokov= Henrik Lundqvist

 

[Crosbyfan]

Eric Lindros-- Ryan Getzlaf

Ron Francis--Patrice Bergeron

Alex Delvecchio--Evgeny Malkin

Eddie Shack--Alexandre Ovechkin

Henri Richard--Zach Parise

Stan Mikita--Gilbert Brule

Henri Richard--Zach Parise

Stan Mikita--Gilbert Brule

Doug Harvey--Dion Phaneuf

Terry Harper--Shawn Belle

Those are really good, except i disagree with the phaneuf comparison, i'd say stevens or jovo rather.

 

[Senator Stanley]

Martin St. Louis-- kyle wellwoood or corey locke

Wellwood to St. Louis, LOL. The only reason you say this is because they are small. St. Louis is a speedster to go along with his skill, neither of these guys have that speed. PM Bouchard seems to be a better comparison.

 

[Senor Rational]

Blake --- Cam Barker

Who does Patrick O'Sullivan compare to in the NHL?

 

[andora]

The only reason you say this is because they are small. .

a bit presumptuous no?

I don't know, PM Bouchard seems to be the same player as Saku Koivu IMO.

Bouchard is too soft to be compare to Koivu.

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Alexei Kovalev-- andrei kostitsyn
Chris Pronger-- heu cam barrker
Martin St. Louis-- kyle wellwoood or corey locke

Wellwood or Locke would have to tie a rocket booster to their rear to get the speed St. Louis has. Size and skill-wise they are close, but neither skates near as well as St. Louis.

I'd compare both to Ribeiro more than anyone else.

 

[Habsfan 32]

Chris Pronger--Mike Komisarek
Brett Hull--Eric Fehr
Alexei Kovalev--Andrei Kostitsyn
Mike Ricci--Mike Richards
Scott Gomez--Robbie Schremp
Martin St. Louis--P-M Bouchard
Brad Stuart--Cam Barker
Ron Francis--Patrice Bergeron
Mike Modano--Evgeni Malkin
Sean Burke--Devan Dubnyk
Eric Lindros--Ryan Getzlaf
Theoren Fleury--Nigel Dawes
Mikka Kiprusoff--Hannu Toivonen
Scott Stevens--Dion Phaneuf

 

[zambonidriver]

Bouchard is too soft to be compare to Koivu.

Christoph Gawlik is like Koivu ... according one finn national coach

 

[CH Wizard]

Alexei Kovalev : Alexander Radulov , honorable mention to Kostitsyn.
Chris Pronger : Mike Komisarek
Eric Lindros : Ryan Getzlaf (Getzlaf has a better shot though)

Chris Pronger : Mike Komisarek
Eric Lindros : Ryan Getzlaf (Getzlaf has a better shot though)

Getzlaf has a better shot than Lindros? What?
Eric had the best backhand in the game, an incredibly hard and accurate slap shot and a hell of a snap shot. Getzlaf is similar in style only, couldn't hold Eric's jock.

By the way, I really agree with the Ricci-Richards comparison, but Richards may have a little more offensive upside.

Well , Getzlaf arsenal of shots is INCREDIBLE.He has a nice back hand , a quick wrist shot and a deadly SLAP SHOT.Remember the wjc's final ? I still think Getzlaf has a btter arsenal of shots but that's just me.

Yeah , both are great two-way forward.I like Richards , he's underrated imo.I saw him a lot this year.He has future captain written all over him.He's good at faceoffs and he's also a great passer.Agree , Richards offensive upside is UNDERRATED.He's also very smart.

 

[AgentNaslund*]

Vinny Lecavlier = Jeff Carter.
Mike Ricci = Mike Richards.
Blake = Phaneuf.
Sullivan = Naslund.
Blake = Barker.
Kobasew= Ladd.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Dave Keon--Mike Richards

 

[Habdominal]

E. Nabokov= Henrik Lundqvist

Really like the comparaison of style is quite acurate

 

[Goldthorpe]

Wayne Gretzky = Sidney Crosby

ahahah

 

[rt]

Brett Hull = Rob Schremp (not nearly as productive)

 

[DaveyCrockett]

I see Getzlaf more as a Jason Arnott type of player.

 

[AgentNaslund*]

Coffey = Jayboumeester?
Kovalchuk = Kessel

 

[Jormungandr]

The one's I seem to like are

Daze - Blake Wheeler
Modano - Kessel
