C Tyler Seguin (2010, 2nd overall, Boston; traded to Dallas)

[Sadist]

The chatter I have heard at the rink is that Mahalak won't be back til late December at the earliest. I guess his shoulder injury was pretty serious.

 

[Roof Daddy]

A question for people who have seen enough of both Hall and Seguin. Which player plays more physical? Both strength on the puck and willingness to hit? I didn't see much aggressiveness from Hall in the Mem cup, is Seguin any better?

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

I hope hes there where Detroit is going to pick.

Looking more and more likely

 

[GretzkytoKurri9917]

I hope the oilers get this guy.

How many franchise players are in this draft besides Segiun the great.

 

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

How many franchise players are in this draft besides Segiun the great.

Hall, maybe Fowler and Kabanov

 

[scoutman1]

Hall, maybe Fowler and Kabanov

IMO franchise players in this draft:

Hall, Fowler, Gormley, Kabanov, Seguin

 

[PensFan101]

IMO franchise players in this draft:

Hall, Fowler, Gormley, Kabanov, Seguin

That's awfully high praise for Gormley. I don't think he's shown enough to warrant the "future franchise player" tag as a prospect. Same with Fowler.

Hall, Kabanov, and Seguin have the most star power in this draft IMO (and in that order I suppose).

 

[Princeton]

IMO franchise players in this draft:

Hall, Fowler, Gormley, Kabanov, Seguin

I would add Tarasenko to this list and delete Gormley.

I also think that Granlund could surprise and be a Gionta or Marty St. Louis type of player. (not really a Franchise player but close).

Granlund definately demands attention on the ice... He's alot like Patrick Kane.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Potential Franchise Players: Hall and Seguin
Star Powered Players: Fowler, Kabanov, Gormley

IMO, Connolly, Gudbranson, McFarland, Granlund, Tarasenko could be added to the latter list, but we will see.

 

[krazy kanuck]

QFT.

I laugh every time I see these Yzerman, Sakic, Gilmour, etc comparisons being mentioned. These players are among the best to EVER play the game of hockey... even Crosby will be lucky to make it that far.

Umm, I agree with the notion that comparisons to Yzerman come too frequently, but I don't think I would put Gilmour in any where near the same stratosphere as either Yzerman or Sakic. They are both first ballot hall of fame material, and I don't think Gilmour even gets in. It may take Crosby some time to reach Yzerman and Sakic like accomplishments, but he already has one more scoring title and the same number of cups as Gilmour...

Best,
Shawn

Star-powered? Holy ****, those guys should be unstoppable, nuclear fusion is nothing to balk at.

Lol, I am sure you know I meant all-star players.

well some people see things and other people see other things...he is the smartest player on the ice all the time, controls the play and runs everything on the ice too me that is a franchise player to build around. He will shut down the opposition or help out offensivly, the guy reminds me of how Scott Neidermayer looked in junior. Too me if a guy controls the play 90% of the time out there and the whole team is run around him that is a franchise player.

How has Seguin been playing lately?

How has Seguin been playing lately?

Last night, incredible.
Lately, pretty good.

 

[Alberta tough]

took over scoring lead from Hall

 

[wings5]

I havn't seen enough of him, is he more of a playmaker or sniper?

 

[KL*]

He can be a brilliant playmaker, but he has to respect his linemates. He usually doesn't respect them, so he's a shoot-first sniper. He's got a quick release and gets a lot of velocity on his snapper.

 

[Professor Dangles]

Pronounciation of Seguin?

Today a friend and I were talking prospects when I brought up Seguin as my pick for 1st overall.

I said "Saygan" rhyming with again

my friend proceeded to laugh at me and said it was pronounced SegWIN

are either of us correct?

 

[IslesRock4]

I'm pretty sure that you are correct.

 

[Tree444]

You are right, its SAY-GAN

 

[Canuck71*]

both pronunciations are right. I've heard both pronounced for different Seguin's.

I believe you are correct and everyone I have heard calls Tyler Seguin by "say-gan".

There are a few Seguin's though that do use the "see-gwin" pronunciation but I haven't heard anyone call Tyler Seguin by that pronunciation yet.
