Lets See
Alexander Ovechkin - Hes very quick, has a very hard accurate shot, has good size at 6'2 207lbs. He has already played in the World Cup against men in the NHL, he managed to notch 2 points in 6 games. I see him being a 75+ point scorer in the NHL consistently, as well playing a pretty solid two way game. I would rate him as a 9.5A according to Hockeysfuture rating chart.

Alexander Svitov - He was touted as a great prospect during his 2001 draft year, he hasn't lived up to nearly his potential in the NHL yet. Hes a pretty solid two way centre, I see him racking in about 35-40pts a year with a pretty solid two way game. I rate him a 7.5C.

Marek Svatos - He showed he could play at the NHL level this year, having some success in the Playoffs notching 6 points in 11 games. Anyways he is very shifty and has a good shot, the only problem with him is his size, he only stands at 5'9 170lbs, but even with his size i can still see him being an impact player, i see a solid 60-65 points for him in the future, i would rate him as a 8.0B.

Zach Parise - He has loads of offensive talent, he has proven that in the WJC last season as well in the NCAA playing for North Dakota. He doesnt have overwhelming size, he stands 5'11 185lbs, i think if he bulked up abit he could be a much better player not that he already isnt a great player. I see a point production of 55-60pts for him in the not to distant future. 8.5B

Dion Phaneuf - Dion Phaneuf, one of the top prospect defenseman in the NHL right now, hes a heavy hitting dman with some offensive talent. I see him being a solid defenseman putting up 25-30 points a year. 8.0 A.

19 Alexander Ovechkin: Has the potential to be the difference in any given game. Very exciting player who can put up 85-95 pts on a consistent basis while playing sound defensively. I'm also quite sure he'll have a few of 100+ pts seasons under his belt before he's done.

24 Mike Ribeiro: Slow but massively creative and talented. He plays an unassuming game and can rack up points like no one else at the end of a game. If he can overcome his issues, 25 goals and 50-55 assists at his peak would be fair.

18 Evgeni Malkin: Another potential Franchise player. This guy can skate and hit. At his peak, 95-100 pts if he puts it all together. 70-75 pts per season is what I would expect.

18 Robbie Schremp: Ah the Enigma. Rob faces inconsistency issues so I don't think he'll ever dominate the game for a whole season. He'll work really well in stretches however. 70-80 pts a season, most of the points coming off assists.

19 Patrice Bergeron: A solid two-way offensive winger who can make nifty moves on the ice and plays with extreme calm and patience. I can see him racking up 65-70 pts (30-35 goals) on a consistent basis and captain the Bruins someday.

19 Andrei Kostsitsyn: A real boom or bust proposition. This kid has little room for error in Montreal and say he develops well, he can surely be a 40 goal scorer. I say his point totals max out at about 85-90 pts.

21 Derek Roy: A hard working smallish center with tons of skill. If he were three inches taller he'd be a dominant force on the ice. But as it is (and assuming he stays away from growth pills) He can put up 55-60 pts a year.

24 Michael Ryder: I'm of the few who thinks he'll get more goals than points. Nor his vision nor his passing is great but his goal scoring instincts are and he plays a very gritty game, hard working game. 35-40 goals 30-35 assists for a total of 65-75 pts at his peak.

19 Patrick O'Sullivan: An unbelievable talent who can skate and shoot the puck really well. If he ever adjusts to the NHL, he can put up 85-90 pts a year.

21 Alexander Svitov: He remid me a bit of an early Jokinen. But I can't see possibly see him have more than 40-45 pts a year.

Hope this helps.
