My only comment would be that the most amazing thing about this particular board is that (unlike the team boards) so many people have so much to say about players that they know so little about and have seen so seldom. I know that is partly the point, but I have to laugh when a guy from Vancouver Island suddenly thinks that he can not only point out the flaws in a prospects game, but can predict his future role in the NHL.
The only good thing about this thread is that it actually moved away from Crosby for awhile.
BTW - having watched Phaneuf in one hell of a lot of games (and practices), IMHO (and my opinion only) he has benefitted from the great combination that makes for a great prospect - he is big enough, strong enough, mean enough, ignorant enough and skilled enough to be good, but he is also now disciplined enough and has learned enough from Sutter to be great. I am looking forward to him making a real impact with the Flames far younger than most D prospects can hope to get a shift in the league these days. He is the real deal, folks - hyped or not.
