I find that people's definition of power forward differs, if you're talking about a guy who will crush people, fight them, score, etc then yes, Kassian is the best PWF prospects in the league.

If people's definition of PWF is a guy like Nash. I think there are better options, Forsberg for example.

Mine is a Todd Bertuzzi, so the first one.

What about Mika Z ? He's improving is game every time he steps on the ice.


I think Kassian is a tad overrated. Also if Kyle Beach could get is act together, he could be a heck of player. But at the momenthe look to be a bust. Also their's not too many power foward in the nhl. Who else could become a great power foward ?

Matt Beleskey and Marcus Foligno could also be considere one. What you think guy's about the list?

Mika Z is no power forward.. Lol.

If you are talking a Milan Lucic type, yes.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Mika Z is more of a Two way player

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Zibby is more in the Nash mold of PF. More of a hybrid version.

Depends on what you define as "power forward" I mean Filip Forsberg looks great as does the undrafted Valeri Nichushkin. Also That Matt Frattin kid was tearing it up pre injury.

I wish people would stop making these threads. Kassian looks good out come the troll for complements threads. Kassian looks bad, in come the counter trolls. Lets just quietly and patiently wait and see what he turns into over the next year without starting a bunch of threads.

Frattin is 25 and not really a prospect anymore.

 

[Alberta tough]

I think he is, Kyle Clifford is another young PF that I wish the Oilers had.

Tom Wilson

 

[Hawaiinleaf]

Big Tyler Biggs from Toronto

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Is Kassian still considered a prospect? either way, the term "power forward" means a hundred different things to a hundred different people. I think of Lucic types, and there only a handful of those guys around.

 

[Revelate]

Foligno?

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Evander Kane?

 

[ed bruin]

Nichushkin....

kid look like a beast pretty much Artyukhin but with a lot better hands and skill (not just making the comparison because of nationality but they are both freaks)

 

[CanadienShark]

Is Kassian still a prospect? I don't think he is, so I'd say Tom Wilson, but admittedly I don't know.

 

[DKQ]

I'd put Marcus Foligno up there as well, probably a little higher actually. Stefan Matteau also is coming along pretty well

 

[7even]

Big Tyler Biggs from Toronto

As the best PWF prospect? Yeahhhhh. I think I'd take Forsberg over him pretty easily. And by "pretty easily" I actually mean "in a heartbeat."

 

[JayKing]

Evander Kane?

Clearly not a prospect anymore. By now, he's an established NHL player.

 

[Billy Mays Here*]

Well there's this kid named Charlie Coyle. . . .

 

[ed bruin]

Well there's this kid named Charlie Coyle. . . .

Charlie Coyle is big but his game isn't in the powerforward mold (thats what I saw at BU and Majors)

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

Evander Kane?

after 235 NHL games (over a third of a way to a pension), I think it's safe to say that Kane is no longer a prospect.
