What does everyone think, he got the skillz? I didn't know Ovechkin was that fast and had such lateral movement from what people have been saying lately.

(FYI, looks like the Ovy3 video is linked twice, including under the one listed as Ovy4.)

b-mad said:I've got a question for everyone.....what do you expect him to do his rookie year (given it's a full seasona nd what do you think he'll do his best year?
Remember, in todays NHL the leading goal scorers only got 41 and breaking 100 points is unbeleivable (how far it's fallen)
Jaded-Fan said:That is just the thing . . . all these Mario comparisons . . .to be honest Mario did it all with defensemen drapped over him mugging him half the time, hell holding and tripping could have been called on his defender every shift, Gretsky never was touched except for maybe one or two times in his entire career . . . that was what made Mario great, and that will determine what Ovechkin does . . . a young Mario, even in this day and age, I think could get 50 or 60 goals . . . Ovechkin has yet to prove that he is a young Mario, with that power to score despite the clutch and grab that he is going to face for the first time in his career.
b-mad said:Huh?
I'm just asking what people think he'll do.......the only comparisons I had cross my mind are with what other youngsters have done lately. This has nothing to do with Mario, Gretzky, or any other ridiculous comparison.

Marshall said:Now, another question is whether or not Ovechkin will come over for whatever exsists of next season. If I had to guess right now, I would guess that he stays in Russia for 04-05.
Sir Ozzie X said:MacLean talked to both Ovechkin's and Malkin's agents before the lottery. He said that Ovechkin's agent said everything is in place for him to play in the NHL next season. Either the military thing is being waived or he's finished it already. The Caps just have to pay the fee.
SwOOsh said:That is great to hear. I'm guessing that if there is a season next year we will see Ovechkin play, if not he will stay in Russia for one more season and the Caps can bring him over for nothing.

Malkin's agent, however, is his father. MacLean said his agent signed him to a five year deal with his Russian club. That really wouldn't have mattered under the old agreement since NHL contracts trump all others according to the IIHF. I'm sure the NHL will be pushing for that to be put into any new agreement. Otherwise the Pens will have to wait awhile if they refuse or are unable to pay for his fee.
Sir Ozzie X said:Yea, it may cost the team to get Malkin out more than Ovechkin. Ovechkin will just have the high fee and maybe the remaining year on his contract. With Malkin you got the fee and the last four years of his contract.
