[Moose Knuckles]

What about Tlustly?im just curious of what you guys think his potentiel is

 

[Omar Little]

Corrente

Best Case: Lubomir Visnovksy but more physical
Worst Case: much Less offensively skilled brian rafalski but with a mean streak

Logan Pyett

Best Case: Derek Meech
Worst Case: Bubba Ramdicher

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Corrente

Best Case: Lubomir Visnovksy but more physical
Worst Case: much Less offensively skilled brian rafalski but with a mean streak

Matt Corrente's "Worst Case" is a player who never makes the NHL. He can either be a great defenseman, a mediocre one, or a guy who never touches the ice. He's far too unpredictible to be a less skilled Rafalski at his WORST.

Bobby Sanguinetti

Best Case: Sergei Gonchar
Worst Case: Jason Bonsignore

hockeyprincess, is that Michael Jackson in your avatar?

You can't say that the worst case scenario for a player is to become a star player. The chance to see Backstrom busting a pretty slim, but there's still a chance that he will never live up to the hype.

SO WHY ARE YOU JUST POINTING OUT THIS FOR JUST ME? THE OTHERS WHO HAVE LISTED WORST CASE SCENARIOS HAVE USED MINOR STAR PLAYERS ALSO. THIS MADE ME EXTREMLEY ANGRY.

I am sorry but Backstrom is easily the best player out of the 2006 prospect draft whether you like it or not.

What a crippling way to support an argument. Must be the language barrier.

 

[hockeyprincess]

Not on your list, but the 6th overall pick in 2006- Brassard.

Best Case- Daniel Briere

It's tough to say what a potential worst case would be, because a bust is a bust IMO.

Derick Brassard cites Daniel Briere as his role model.
That little vampire has influence over everyone... it's horrible.
And I am talking about Daniel.

no, it's Michal Neuvirth.

LOL, ok.

 

[Safir*]

Little:

Best: S. Koivu
Worst: Hartigan

A lot of times I saw him being compared to Daniel Briere.

 

[lennie]

Luc Bourdon,


Best Case: Ed Jovanovski
Worst Case:Ed Jovanovski

Luc Bourdon,


Best Case: Ed Jovanovski
Worst Case:Ed Jovanovski

Hes not THAT offensive
I see more Ohlund in him than Jovo

 

[Birko19]

I'm sorry but some of these posts are very funny,

Some of these worst cast scenarios are pretty absurd, I mean I see names like Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Ohlund, Jovanovski, and so on, I'm sorry but this is way too much, how about the word "Bust"? because that's a worst case scenario for every prospect out there even if it was Erik Johnson, Nicklas Backstrom, or whatever, sure these guys have a great potential, but sometimes even the best of them youngsters bust out.

His skating is better compared to Jovo than Ohlund.

People won't even be thinking any of these players might bust until...I'd say at least the summer of 2008.

 

[WADEugottaBELAKthat]

Peter Mueller

Best Case: Adam Oates
Worst Case: Victor Kozlov

 

[Kafka]

Peter Mueller

Best Case: Adam Oates
Worst Case: Victor Kozlov

Wow, is Mueller that versatile? Oates and Kozlov are completely different players in the style they play (ed).

Vampire?

What are you talking about?

 

[Sore Loser]

How about Canucks' pick Michael Grabner...

Best case: Martin Havlat
Worst case: bust

At this point it's looking good for you guys at least, he's proving even though he's been hurt that he's one of the best skaters/goal scorers in the league.

As for Mueller, I'd say more like:

Best case: Mats Sundin
Worst case: Matt Oates

 

[Form and Substance]

Mueller's upside to me is like a two-way version of Craig Janney with a better work ethic. I don't see him in the same mold as Mats Sundin.
Viktor Kozlov as a worst case scenario? Give me a ****ing break.
