2011 Draft - NHL Ready Talent?

renegade do you think hopkins could potentially jump? people say hes physically immature but the same was said of patrick kane...can you see it happening?

I'm not sure who said that Kane was physically immature. He's a small guy but he was pretty filled out by the time he was drafted. Compare him to a guy like Kyle Turris who is taller but struggles with the core strength.

agree with renegade stylings assessment. siemens physically and skating will be nhl capable. however every other aspect of his game needs polish. rushing a good prize defensive prospect is just begging for it to blow up in a teams face. i'd be surprised to see siemens not play out his 19 year old season in the whl, and then make the jump to the nhl as a 20, possibly the ahl for a year.

Could Magnus Hellberg see some NHL starts by next year if a team has weak goal tending depth?

No. He needs at least 1 year in the SEL or AHL. Probably like 2-3.

BUMP!

Opinions on who's ready out of Huberdeau, Puempel, Rattie, Beaulieu, or Hamilton.

Huberdeau from what i've heard.
