most underrated junior players

[Whawks33]

Dan Da Silva Portland

 

[FREE DENTAL CARE]

LAVALLEE -- Check out his stats. He played little last year and when he did it usually was in a defensive role. He skates well, hits, plays on both ends of the ice and is a real "leader" type. Keep an eye on him.

 

[raidered]

Kyle Quincey is not too underrated in the OHL as he's probably rated in the top 5 defencemen in this league. He will have to turn some heads at the Junior Camp in Winnipeg, however, because I don't think he will make it to the actual tournament in Grand Forks. Looks like Detroit knew what they were doing in the strong 2003 draft year, but this time they did it with North Americans by taking Howard, then Quincy, then Oulahen. Oulahen who is already a complete player will be a better pro than many forwards taken ahead of him.

Freddy Cabana......Oh wait I thought you said most "Overrated"



Adam Pineault of Moncton Wildcats is awesome....

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Outside the QMJHL Petr Vrana is underated. Inside the QMJHL Petr Vrana is also the most overated. Funny....isn't it

 

[Lessy]

Brad Richardson, Michael Blunden

 

[LaLaLaprise]

Desjardins of Rimouski

WTF? The kid is a sieve.

 

[LaLaLaprise]

Alex Picard-Hooper.

he is 5'10 170 and is average skater...he has the tools but he is comparable to an extremeley less skilled Simon Gamache.

 

[Epsilon]

he is comparable to an extremeley less skilled Simon Gamache.

Hope this guy enjoys his career in the ECHL.

Freddy Cabana......Oh wait I thought you said most "Overrated"

How is Cabana overrated? He was a 6th round pick. Who is overrating him??

I saw him play one , this season and He was very impressive in that game.

The guy has skills , He needs to grow and put all his tools together.

That why I choose Hooper because IMO he's underrated.

I think it's more of a case of bad defensemen, but I could be wrong.

Alex Picard from Halifax. Easily one of the best D in the league offensively and defensively. He's starting to play more physical now and I never see him make a bad play.

Alex Pickard from Lewiston. At least the Haliax Pickard got invited to WJC tryouts. The Lewiston Pickard has a solid two way game. (btw I know he was a top 10 pick and is not really underrated. I just don't understand the snub for the WJC tryouts.)

Also floating under many non-OHL watchers, Stefan Ruzicka. He can score and has NHL 30 goal potential.

Kaleta

Patrick Kaleta( Peterborough Petes) He should make the show in my mind, hes got the tools

 

[Gwyddbwyll]

Tomanek

Surprised to see Tomanek. Not having a great impact and picking him over Pushkaryev?

From my limited knowledge I'd nominate Aaron Gagnon.

He had an impact on the Hitmen for sure. I didn't choose Pushkarev because he's a bit better known.

Im not sure if we speak 'bout da same Simon Gamche but he is in da AHL league leaders. A little bit far of a ECHL type of player

 

[Anfernic]

apparently Steve Bernier

Was going to say da same thing

Exactly Burkey, agree with 100%.

oh lord, using da on the internet? *sighs*

He can produce in the AHL, that's will be good enough to keep him there, or send him to Russia. He might not make the NHL but he won't be an ECHLer either.

 

[Chimaera]

I'd like to think Eric Fehr's at least somewhat underrated.


Yeah, most agree he's got a great shot. And that makes him a decent prospect.

But, he's not bad as far as other parts of his game go.


Plus, with the goals he's put up, he's got top 2nd, maybe 1st line potential for the NHL.

To read that some feel he shouldnt' even be on Canda's WJC team is pretty appalling.
