Who will be a better OFFENSIVE defencemen in the NHL?
Steve Eminger or Kirill Koltsov
Steve Eminger or Kirill Koltsov
Morrison_Rulz said:Koltsov by far. Though it depends if his defense improves. Since Eminger is the better all around prospect right now, he will. Koltsov though, if he improves, there is really no chance Eminger is better.
My 100th post!
What I'm saying is that Eminger is a safe bet to make the NHL and Koltsov isn't. Koltsov needs a lot of work on his defensive game before he can get a chance to make it. It is safe to say that if he doesn't improve this aspect of his game, he'll never make it to the NHL. Therefore, Eminger will obviously be the better offensive d-man, because Koltsov never made it and Eminger did. Only if Koltsov improves his defense and makes it, will he be the better offensive d-man. Koltsov definately has the talent to be an impact player, but is either a boom or a bust. I don't think Konstantin is his brother(not sure). Sorry for the confusion.Raider Zero said:out of curiosity, is Kirill the brother of Konstantin from the Pens?
and i am with Jin; you're 100 post is confusing Morrison_Rulz.

He played good defense for Manitoba during the tail-end of the season last year so he proved he's at least willing to work on that side of his game. Offensively his ceiling is obviously higher then Eminger's, but as to whether Koltsov lives up to potential is anyone's guess.
As people have been saying, Eminger is more of a sure thing and definitely more well-rounded. Koltsov COULD have a Zubov-style potential though, if he pulls everything together.
