2007 Draft,RD 1:Most Physical Forward?

[Evgeny Oliker]

Who do you guys think is the most physical Forward that will be taken in the 1st Round of the 2007 NHL Draft?

I'm looking for someone who you can see getting 100 PIMs in the NHL (someone who is physical and can fight at times).


Thanks!

there arnt any. JVR has the size but doesnt use it enough, same could be said of Veilleux and even Sutter.

Andersson is big, strong, but not a great hitter.

 

[Louis Houde]

Colton Gillies is the most physical forward, good forechecker.

He is a awesome skater with a huge frame.

 

[Lion Hound]

Still possible for Aliu...even with all his shortcomings to go in the first round. I could see a team gambling on him late in the first round.

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Dana Tyrell might be a little undersized, but it looks like he could be a Brendan Morrow / Darcy Tucker type.

 

[KNOXVILLE]

Kevin Veilleux (LHJMQ Victo)

Colton Gillies is the most physical forward, good forechecker.

Will be a good 4th line Center one day...

 

[Langway]

Stefan Legein, though the first round may be a bit early for him.

 

[Alter Haudegen]

Colton Gillies is the most physical forward, good forechecker.

He is a awesome skater with a huge frame.

Unfortunately, he is also an accident waiting to happen. He is very prone to checking from behind penalties and a lot of his hits are at best borderline.

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

Id say Tyrell, Gillies, and Sonne if someone really wants him that bad.

This guy is very intriguing. Born in Nigeria, then moved to Ukraine, then moved to Canada.

Does anyone know where his parents are from? Meaning is he biracial?


Also, between Gillies and Aliu, who do you guys think has more talent? Who will produce more points in the NHL (when both reach full potential)?

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

Akim Aliu IMO has a far greater upside. Havent seen much of Gillies, but he sure sounds like Chad Kilger.

Andersson is big, strong, but not a great hitter.

he is big and strong yes. but he doesnt use he's size advantage at all. he is going to dominate the day he understands he is bigger and stronger then most players.

Yes.

One more physical forward: Martin Laumann Ylven(Norway). Very physical and big.

what round is he expected to go in?

 

[dell]

Donnie Hallmark is the biggest joke in the USHL. No skill, no upside.

 

[Redwingsfan]

Yes.
