Class of 2004

[Olly2]

I get the feeling that because of the lockout, the class of 2004 is not drawing much discussing on this board.

I have completed a top 40 list.

But would also be interested in seeing how the rest of you rate the top 40 drafted in 2004.

Mine will be posted soon, as I know that if I post mine, It will draw comments but not lists.

Looking forward to your feedback

I have the same top 4.

Isn't Voloshenko slow? A guy like Pierre Dagenais can get big numbers in the AHL.... but that didsn't translate to the NHL....

And by the way, no Soderberg either? According to what I read, even if his team is in the tier-2, he might now be included in the first round.

No Schneider?

 

[insider]

Guess Not

However at this point, Dubnyk is higher than Schneider and he's only 22

 

[Kafka]

Bolland 12th?

 

[Raging Bull]

I'd say Pogge is higher than Dubnyk right now.

 

[TK79]

No love for Petteri Nokelainen? He's one of the only guys from his draft year actually in the NHL. Korpikoski also deserves to be in the top 25.

 

[Lobstertainment]

Pogge>All

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

No love for Petteri Nokelainen? He's one of the only guys from his draft year actually in the NHL. Korpikoski also deserves to be in the top 25.

Noki yes, Korpi definitely no

 

[MXD]

... And I'd still put Korpi way ahead of AJ Thelen...

 

[insider]

I'd say Pogge is higher than Dubnyk right now.

Agree

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Noki yes, Korpi definitely no

Haha, why doesn't Korpikoski deserve to be in the top 25?

 

[Thirty One]

Haha, why doesn't Korpikoski deserve to be in the top 25?

I'm wondering too

Isn't Voloshenko slow? A guy like Pierre Dagenais can get big numbers in the AHL.... but that didsn't translate to the NHL....

This is the biggest myth of all. Voloshenko worked hard on correcting his skating and he's doing a fine job in the AHL. He isn't fast by any means but he isn't slow like they said he was.

 

[Kafka]

No Campoli? I know he is two years older, but will all the Dmen drafted in the first round become 40 points scorers like Campoli will probably be?

 

[knight44]

Schremp should be higher then 11th, he has 90 points in 31 games

 

[FLYLine27*]

I'm wondering too

When you guys find out that answer, let me know...wondering as well.

 

[jepjepjoo]

Korpikoski would be 18th and Nokelainen 15th if I had to squeeze them in to that list

 

[J17 Vs Proclamation]

Schremp should be higher then 11th, he has 90 points in 31 games

Thats just scary.

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

no Emelin or Lisin?

 

[Kaizer]

no Emelin or Lisin?

Have any reasons ?

I think at the WJC and in the AHL this year Tukonen has proven he should of been a top 5 pick where he was posted to go. He was tied for 2nd in scoring in WJC but it didn't give him once of his goals and assists which would of made him #1.... In AHL hasn't had the greatest numbers but respectable ones and really timely goals.
