Which prospect(s) in this year's draft have the best chance at making their draft team for the upcoming season?
Although Voracek will be an awesome NHLer someday, I think it would be a mistake to send him into the fray next year. Another year in the Q will let him develop much more effectively.
But then again, I'm a Mooseheads fan so I'm a bit biased on the whole situation.
you are absolutely right. but you have to agree he is one of the guys in this draft that are closest to being ready.
alzner
voracek
van riemsdyk
sweatt
i dont think any of them will make it, but those guys have the best chanse.

I can't see anyone draft-eligible this year being "automatic" for the NHL in 07-08. At first I was thinking that Couture might be the only one with a shot at it, but now all sorts of people are doubting his attitude etc.
I think Kane may be able to make his big team, depending on who takes him, and if he can bulk up a bit, and I also think Alzner, Voracek, and maybe Couture.
If I had to pick, Ellerby, Kane, Cherepanov and Aliu
I hope Sweatt doesnt get rushed into the NHL because of his speed and hurt his developmentThere's ZERO chance Sweatt or vanRiemsdyk makes the jump to the NHL this year.

I would say the 1st pick by Chicago might make it. But if I where an NHL GM I would perfer to give my pick a year in the AHL at least.
