Couturier, Nugent-Hopkins and Strome?

[dkollidas]

NHL player comparisons (obviously not the numbers they will hit, but playing style/body type etc)

From what I've heard...

Couturier=a poor mans Vinny Lecavalier

RNH=a poor mans Matt Duchene

Strome=Seguin-like

Is this accurate, and for each, what's their upside. Just curious as I only got to see Couturier live here in Buffalo during WJC in US-Finland game. Thanks

Im willing to bet that strome has the best NHLcareer

I would only call the first two "a poor man's" because they are young. They might end up being better than those two comparison players you named.

Strome=Seguin-like

Moere the opposite of Seguin. Boy has a weak physis.

Has a weak physique? Is that what you were trying to say?

Wouldn't sell Strome short if he still has a very slight frame. The guy is a dynamic talent.

Jaja ich glaub that was what I was trying to say.
I think RNH is even stronger than Strome and would Strome perhaps see as a wing as a pro. He reminds me a bit of the guys like Toffoli, McKegg etc. Makes a lot of points as a junior but it's doubtful how they translate in the NHL with their physical problems and tehir game in general.
