If they didn't show up noone would really miss them.

I'm sorry to say but I don't think there has ever been a safe russian dmen from a draft, the guy is decent but odds are he will never make an impact as an NHL defensmen. Hell the Devils have wasted picks on Russian defensmen far too often. I agree with Steen though.Carl O'Steen said:The Leafs have a few.
Carlo Colaiacovo (will play in the NHL, be it as a top pairing or #5/6 guy)
Alex Steen (if he's not a top 6 forward, he's at worst a 3rd liner)
Dimitri Vorobiev (one of the safest defensemen prospects of the 2004 draft)

Vorobiev has all the tools to play in the NHL next season, as a bottom pairing guy. The transition phase may take a while, but he's a safe bet to play in the league at some level in the future.Jason MacIsaac said:I'm sorry to say but I don't think there has ever been a safe russian dmen from a draft, the guy is decent but odds are he will never make an impact as an NHL defensmen.

No, just trying to keep it on topic.andora said:a little snobby over something quite miniscule no?
Jason MacIsaac said:Parise is as safe a prospect as you can get. If he isn't an offensive center he plays as a shutdown defensive center. The guy is intelligent and gritty enough to play any role for a long time.

He is great and will have an excellent-career in the NHL if he can manage to stay healthy the guy is a safe-bet to be a good regular on any NHL team !
He has also untapped offensive potential and I hope that his injuries won't ruin that amazing offensive potential IMO

Chaos said:Doesnt that automatically take him off any "cant miss" discussion?
Epsilon said:Hah, not only did we both post the same thing at the same time, we both bolded the exact same part of his post.

Parise played with two of the worse defenisve wingers Albany has with Suglobov and Voros for the first chunk of the year and his defense has sucked. Only a complete moron would deny Parise is an excellent defensive center just by looking at the +- stats. I guess Locke is better defensivly then Parise?Asiaoil said:Ah your "shutdown center" is wearing a -9 .Tell me you are joking here :lol
What's next for you Parise fans - does he turn water into wine on Sundays and cure the blind.
I have seen him play, he's a steady player. Nothing special, but a guy that may develop into a solid #4 down the road.gardebut30 said:not saying your wrong, but what leads you to believe this. i haven't read much on him and what i have doesn't suggest he can step into the nhl next season. is this based on personal opinion, have you seen him play, just read reports on him? please do explain. not discrediting you, just was surprised to hear he could come in next year.
