Jason MacIsaac said:Yes, by a good margin. This board is for argueing and debating about prospects.
nomorekids said:Well, I guess it's a matter of opinion, then.
Chipchura said:I'd say many posters share Jason's opinion though.
I think thats the point, it was funny the first time.. but the 82nd.. well, it starts to lose its luster then.nomorekids said:it was mostly a joke. .

Chainshot said:To reference the original post, I don't think Dylan Hunter is all that much of a sleeper. Not that he's a bad player or anything, I just don't see how an overager on a powerhouse team putting up good numbers makes him anything particularly special. The road to the ECHL is oft paved with fine final OHL scoring seasons....
Fukufuji- Goalie playing in the echl, drafted 238 and by all accounts really shining. 2.53 GAA and .917 SV% for Bakerfield. I'm sure he would go much higher if the draft were held again.
bobbyorr4ever said:Fair enough, but ya have to think he's move up somewhat - however I do see your point! Great junior yrs or even minor league yrs has nothing to do with a players likeliehood of making it to the Big Show...
Kritty said:I don't really agree with all the comments about Earl. Would he go higher knowing what we know now? Probably, but I wouldn't go near calling him a sleeper. He's a very good college player but I don't think his style and skills translate to much at the NHL level. I see a 3rd/4th line NHLer with not a whole lot of offence.
nomorekids said:Well, considering his own coach is rumored to have advised USA Hockey not to select him for the team, one has to wonder.
PepNCheese said:Why would his coach do that?
"He reminds me a lot of [former Gophers standout] Jordan Leopold," Aus said. "He's extremely special. You just don't have someone playing defense that can do the things offensively he can do. Guys like that don't come around very often. We've had some good offensive defensemen and sent a number to Division I, but he's truly a special player."
Apparently Klimov who NJ selected in later rounds is better. Both probably never make it to North America.Quiet Robert said:I'd offer up 2 guys who I think are turning out really great so far.

Alexander Mikhailishin-Drafted 155, big guy. I liked him at the Can-Russia Challenge. I don't know if technically he's a sleeper because I don't know if he would go that much higher.
