I know hes bigger, hes younger and hes a center, but is Evgeni Malkin really on a different level than Semin as a prospect?
It's not good thing to use YouTube here because of thisIf you haven't already seen it, check out this highlight reel of some of the goals he's scored in the RSL and for Russia in international play. the soundtrack is horrible, but it was sweet to watch. It's from YouTube sometime and it's called Malkin montage.
If this link doesn't work, go there and watch it.

Haha, that's so bad. I can only imagine what the Semin jokes must be like on the Caps board.But defensively I would rather have Malkin on me then Semin.
But there's a lot more to hockey than just points. The way Semin is playing, he and Malkin could end up with similar point totals. But does Semin kill penalties and play defense like Malkin? I haven't seen any Caps games yet this year, but I suspect Malkin's defense probably puts him on a different level than Semin.Reilly said:let's see who has more points at the end of the see mmm'kay?

Semin to me just seems to be lacking the fly moments that Malkin can represent leading to much sorrow amongst Capitals fans.
I will reserve judgement until Malkin plays a handful of games then returns to Russia after refusing to report to Wilkes-Barre.
I think Malkin is a much better player. Better offensively, not as flashy, but more effective. He will also be a better all-around player
Nah, that's for Kopitar. (Semin's ineligible anyhow.)I wish it were true then Semin would win the Calder this year!
Edit: Looks like we got another sticky thread brewin'!

Malkin is a more complete player compared to Semin. The one area where Semin may have an advantage is his wrist shot and goal-scoring ability. Elsewhere, Malkin's got the clear edge.</twocents>
I know and I agree that Malkin is a better prospect. "THAT" much better is debatable on many levels including the meaning of "THAT".
But my response was mocking his attempted at humor that Semin only played a handful of games. If it were true, Semin would be eligible. But, as we all know, he is not, since he has played more than a handful of games.
