Single most talented prospect for each team

[leafaholix*]

Yeah, he's around 6'1". I stood next to him and he might be a touch taller. But he weighs well over 215. That's not bad for a player as fast and agile as he is. He's an incredibly strong player.

Yes, he is a very "thick" player.

Terrific skater for a guy his size, I could have sworn he was 6'3", 220 pounds.

Anyways, he's good... back to the thread.

Jeremy Colliton?

I'm an Islanders fan and have been for 20 years, so I think I know this team pretty well. I would not say Collition is the most talented prospect we have. I like Nilsson for talent. But I think a guy who could creep in under the radar is Bruno Gervais. The kid is only 19, was the final the cut for the Isles last year, will probably make the team this year, and plays with about as much poise as you will see. Plus he's a great skater and can put up some numbers.

Dallas Stars - Antti Miettinen

Skills-Belle

Potential-Erikkson

 

[JFPIV]

For the Hawks it's Barker or Seabrook.

 

[Ajacied]

Skills-Belle

Potential-Erikkson

Overall - Miettinen

Plus, Daley has way more skills than Belle as hockeysense is one too.. I'd even put Polak or Fransson above Belle.

Detroit Red Wings: Jiri Hudler

Grigorenko by mile

 

[Letang fan 58]

what is the overall opinion on who is the pens top prospect Marc Andre Fleury or Malkin?

 

[dumpnchase]

San Jose Sharks

Josh Hennessy has the most overall skill (can pass, shot, stickhandle).

Tie for second,
Bernier (Power Forward Sniper)
Ehrhoff (Best Playmaker/Creating things out of nothing)
Kaspar (Best Sharks Sniper)

Michalek isn't counted since he has played 2 games, otherwise he would number 1, Hennessy 2, and the other three tied for 3rd.

based on pure skill i think Fedorov is the most talented prospect teh canucks have. without a doubt. 6'4" skates like the wind and has a great shot.


talent wise he's easily the best but his head is no where near on right.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

what is the overall opinion on who is the pens top prospect Marc Andre Fleury or Malkin?

I think probably half the Pens fans think Fleury is better, half Malkin. For me, it could go either way and is very close.

Andrei Kostitsyn

Lots of places have it the other way....

 

[PhoPhan]

For the Coyotes, it's neither Ballard nor Wheeler. It's Leneveu.

 

[kmad]

Ryan Kesler played around 20 games for us this year. My vote goes to Koltsov.

Koltsov is definitely the most TALENTED.... but if we were guessing who had the best shot at a long NHL career, I'd say Kesler. He still counts as a prospect according to HF.

 

[db23]

For the Habs, I'll go with Kyle Chipchura. Chris Higgins has already played a couple of NHL games, although I might go with Chipchura even if he hadn't. Both are well ahead of Kostitsyn in terms of their all round contribution.

 

[West19]

For my teams:Calgary no doubt,Phaneuf
Colorado either wolski or boychuk

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

what is the overall opinion on who is the pens top prospect Marc Andre Fleury or Malkin?

Franchise center or franchise goalie? Usually you need both to win a cup. As to which is more important, i'm really not sure. There have been exceptions to both rules(devils winning w/out franchise center, redwings winning with osgood) of course.

 

[we will thrash you]

It's either Coburn or Lehtonen for the Thrashers.

Lehtonen for the Thrashers

Kostitsyn is the most talented and that's what guitaraholic is asking.

 

[db23]

in the same sense that Peter Forsberg and Nick Lidstrom are the best players in the league. I'm simply wondering which single player has the most overall talent, however you define it I guess, on a team by team basis.

On that basis, Chipchura is more talented than Kostitsyn.

 

[CH Wizard]

On that basis, Chipchura is more talented than Kostitsyn.

Did you go to the camp because I went there and I saw both and Kost is more talented is puck-handling skills and his shots are WAY better then Chipchura and guys I saw Chipchura at the camp his skills are so underrated I saw him play and I thought his skills was less good but he's a complete player.I remember he makes a very good deke and he gave a big body check to the defenceman and score a goals it was just amazing.

BTW db23 I can't blame you ,you didn't saw Kost play.

 

[Disco Volante]

San Jose Sharks

Josh Hennessy has the most overall skill (can pass, shot, stickhandle).

Tie for second,
Bernier (Power Forward Sniper)
Ehrhoff (Best Playmaker/Creating things out of nothing)
Kaspar (Best Sharks Sniper)

Michalek isn't counted since he has played 2 games, otherwise he would number 1, Hennessy 2, and the other three tied for 3rd.

Didn't Ehrhoff play like 40 games?

 

[sharkyz15]

Josh Hennessy has the most overall skill (can pass, shot, stickhandle).

Tie for second,
Bernier (Power Forward Sniper)
Ehrhoff (Best Playmaker/Creating things out of nothing)
Kaspar (Best Sharks Sniper)

Well said

I agree but I think Hennessy and Kaspar would tie for that honor

Kaspar has the size that Hennessy lacks and Hennessy has the passing skills which Kaspar has yet to develope

in this Order

A.Milan Michalek
1.Josh Hennessy
1a.Lukas Kaspar
2.Marcel Goc
2a.Steve Bernier

just my opinion

 

[The Mighty Duck Man]

Getzlaf takes my vote as the most talented Ducks prospect. Smid seems to be another excellent kid as for pure skills. Perry is a step behind IMO (skating issue)

What I meant to say was that if you're going for pure offensive skill(not overall), Perry's the answer(no intangibles, like physical play and skating involved), whereas if you want to complete package, it's Getzlaf you want.

 

[Fighter]

If you're looking for pure overall skill, Corey Perry is probably the Ducks' choice. If it's overall skill, definetely Ryan Getzlaf.

This is what I read.
If you meant offensive overall skills I could agree.
