The Kinder, Gentler Version
I know many of you hate these threads , but I'm from Arizona and I don't get to see these guys, so here it goes:
I made this list using mostly second-hand scouting reports. I basically compiled it in hopes of provoking people who actually know about these prospects into agreeing/disagreeing with me, so as I can gain a better understanding of how these players actually play.
1. Crosby - Joe Sakic?
2. Johnson - Ed Jovanovski?
3. Brule - Daymond Langkow?
4. Ryan - Somewhere between Shane Doan and Freddy Modin?
5. Kopitar - Radek Bonk?
6. Benoit Pouliot - Eric Daze? Alex Tanguay? Zubrus? Dagenais?
7. Bourret - Mike Ricci/Jordin Tootoo?
8. Zagrapan - Petr Nedved?
9. Parent - Scott Hannan? Keith Carney? Marcus Ragnarsson?
10. Staal - Robyn Regehr?
11. Skille - Somewhere between Keith Tkachuk and Dallas Drake?
12. Latendresse - Isbister?
13. Bergfors - Jere Lehtinen/P.J. Axelsson?
14. Setoguchi - Kyle Calder/Mark Parrish/Cheechoo?
15. Kindl - Lydman?
16. McArdle - Adam Deadmarsh/Brenden Morrow?
17. Durand - Curtis Brown?
18. Bourdon - Skoula?
19. Stoa - Rob Neidermayer/Olli Jokinen?
20. Bertram - Paul Kariya/Martin St, Louis?
I'm talking style, not career potential, here.
