Bowmeester vs Barker

[Flames Draft Watcher]

So just how good is Barker? Is he a sure thing future #1 defenseman in NHL? Is he great defensively? Is he very mean and physical? Does he have great speed and quickness?

Based on stuff I've read it sounds like he'll need to continue working on his skating and his defensive play. Haven't read any reports saying he's super mean, most reports tout his offensive abilities and PP skills. Very few prospects are sure things...

I say bouwmeester. He's evolved into an all around defencmen, and in a couple of years he'll be making the all star team every year. Great future ahead of him.

Having said that i think barker has potenial to evolve into a good player, but not as good as bouwmeester.
