I don't want to start any fights or anything....I know most people knows i'm a Habs fan so I'll start this by saying....I also think our Habs prospects, as a group, are over-rated.
Now on to the Oilers...
The 4th best prospect pool in the league, according to HF?????
That just seems to high to me. First of all I must state I'm a good friend of the Oilers editor Guy Flaming and I respect his opinion, in fact the man knows more about the Oilers prospects then anyone on the planet.....but the group at 4 seems a little to high.
1. Rob Schremp, C - Schremp is surprising this year, offensively dominant in the O.
2. Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers, G - Player in 9 games in the A. 897 save %
3. Marc-Antoine Pouliot, C - Good, but never good enough to make a WJC team, has been out shone by other players on his junior team etc.
4. Doug Lynch, D - Probably would have been in the NHL this season
5. Jeff Woywitka, D - I don't think he will be a top 3 d-man in the NHL.
I just look at teams further down the list and I don't understand why the Oilers are 4th??
Nashville - 6th in HF Rankings
Suter, Upshall, Shishkanov, Radulov, Weber
Atlanta - 8th HF Rankings
Lehtonen, Coburn, Valabik
Anaheim - 9th HF Rankings
Getlaf, Bryzgalov, Perry
Wild - 10th HF Rankings
Koivu, O'Sullivan, Burns, Thelen, Harding
So basically I'm asking...why the Oilers at 4th ?? Could it be their depth ?? Niinimakki and Rita in the top ten....but do you look at those two as failures because they were top 15 picks who haven't stepped it up yet??
Help me out here.....I can't figure this one out.
Guy, you can probably help me the most on this one.
