Compare the 2013 lineup with past players

Rules:

Compare an actual player with a player from another edition

• Talent
• Style

Hard to compare young players like Galchenyuk, Gallagher etc so I suggest we go based on potential or just the style of play.

Maybe just me but Eller=Dainius Zubrus

Zubrus was part of a big trade, everyone expect him to be the big centre Mtl is missing, similar to Eller.

I like the bolded ones. At first I was unsure about the Gallagher – Lemieux comparison but after a while, I liked it!

Mine are:

Eller: Bulis
Desharnais: between Stéphane Lebeau and Saku Koivu
Galchenyuk: Kjell Dahlin
Subban : Chelios
Gorges: smaller version of Rick Green?
Bourque: Latendresse
Prust: Scott Thornton
Diaz: Svoboda
Pacioretty: Bellows/Zednick

Finding one for Plekanec is hard!

I like Y Perrault for Plekanec

 

[Pierre Dagenais]

I like Y Perrault for Plekanec

Perreault was terrible defensively

 

[Kjell Dahlin]

I like Y Perrault for Plekanec

The way I remember it, Perrault’s main defensive contribution was winning faceoffs; a lot of them. He was not a good two ways player... was he? I also remember him as an average/slow skater.

Sorry... I don’t like this comparison!

Perrault was all offense + faceoffs. Plekanec is a two way player, and so much faster than Perreault.

How about

Plekanec - Henri Richard?

70s flashbacks:

67 Max Pacioretty L --- Frank Mahovlich (big strides, great shot, uses a lot of ice)
14 Tomas Plekanec C --- Jacques Lemaire (excellent all-purpose forward)
51 David Desharnais C ---Henri Richard (little bugger can pass)
79 Andrei Markov D ---J.C.Tremblay (no skate, no size, all brain)
76 P.K. Subban D ---Guy Lapointe (Loves to rush)
73 Brendan Gallagher R --- Yvan Cournoyer (mighty mite scorer)
61 Raphael Diaz D ---Serge Savard (excellent two-way defenseman)
27 Alex Galchenyuk C ---Guy Lafleur (When will he blossom?)
21 Brian Gionta R ---Rejean Houle (may score if he can stay on his skates)
81 Lars Eller F ---Pete Mahovlich (Late bloomer, puck hogging playmaker)
17 Rene Bourque L --- Marc Tardif (does most things well offensively)
74 Alexei Emelin D ---Rick Chartraw (solid D)
8 Brandon Prust L ---Doug Risebrough (in your face warrior)
55 Francis Bouillon D ---Brian Engblom (decent 2 way)
73 Michael Ryder R ---Steve Shutt (sniper)
32 Travis Moen L ---Bob Gainey (big defensive forward)
26 Josh Gorges D ---Serge Savard (dependable shutdown anchor)
22 Tomas Kaberle D ---
20 Colby Armstrong W --- Doug Jarvis (utility forward)
53 Ryan White C ---Mario Tremblay
68 Yannick Weber D ---
30 Peter Budaj G ---
31 Carey Price G ---Ken Dryden (good but with weaknesses to work on)

Quintal - Emelin is a good one to.

I was young when Quintal played and maybe my memory fails me, but I think Emelin is better than Quintal was?

 

[Out East]

I think this is pretty accurate

31 Carey Price G --- shades of theodore circa 2001 and shades of theodore circa 2004

I assume you meant LeClair and not Lindros...

 

[LePoche69]

Perreault was nothing like Plekanec except for the fact that they were centers.

Perrault was all offense + faceoffs. Plekanec is a two way player, and so much faster than Perreault.

How about

Plekanec - Henri Richard?

I agree, Plekanec vs Perrault is a rather poor comparison.

Henri Richard? Maybe. But I like the Jacques Lemaire comparison better.
