Battle of the Second Draftees

[Pocket Rocket]

Though not yet officially drafted second behind Crosby, would you choose Brule over Malkin, or the other way around? And why would you give one the edge?

I love Gilbert Brule, but so far Malkin has done everything that you could ask of him...Even though I still say Ovechkin>>Malkin pretty easy...I have been very impressed with Malkin and his upside.

I've only seen Malkin play once and when he fills out more and gets stronger he will IMO be on par with Alexander the great (aka Alexander Ovechkin)

i think that ovechkin and crosby as of right now are in a leauge of their own and by abotu 23 and 22 years old they will battle it out for top scorer every year in my opinion.

I'll take Malkin on potential, Brule on likelyhood of reaching it.

I really dont think you can say this about two guys that have never played an nhl game. Especially the way Kovalchuk, Heatley, Lecavalier, Thornton etc have come into there own recently.

Gilbert Brule is explosive. Might be as good as Crosby. The future will tell us.
